Kings occupation program

Dear all,

Thank you for all your support - we have had a really successful day today in our liberated space (the doors are open to all staff and students at any time and to stay the night!). Please send messages of support about the occupation to principal@kcl.ac.uk and cc to kcloccupation@gmail.com.

We have received messages of support from Palestine, Cairo and from Tony Benn, Jeremy Corbyn MP, trade unions and other civil society organisations.

We have received a response to our initial demands and have replied - and we have pretty much won on two demands so far which is a great victory. The two demands relate to a cross-campus fundraising facility for Gaza, and sending old books etc. to Gaza. See our blog for updates (www.kcloccupation.blogspo
