Hey, my name is Edgar, I'm a 3rd year history major and I'm running as part of the Left Action team.
Left Action is a team of grassroots activists. We have no candidates from the major parties. Instead, we're trade unionists, we're climate activists, we're Black Lives Matter activists, we're education activists... We're fighters against all forms of injustice. If you went to a protest this year, there's a good chance one of our candidates organised it.
We want to bring these campaigns into the SRC.
This year the mostly unelected, right-wing majority on the SRC have undemocratically blocked activist campaigns and backed up attacks from the government and university administration. The SRC and the Union need to be a voice for students, not another PR department for overpaid Univeristy directors and administrators. If we're going to defeat fee hikes and rebuild social movements, we need to get grassroots activists on to the student council.
