Our Liberation Networks are a space for marginalised communities to gather, create communities and promote intersectionality.
Throughout the year they will run campaigns to promote change at SUBU, BU and beyond. They are each led by a Liberation Officer, who is also a Part-Time Officer at the Union.
The Networks are free to join and all students who self-identify are automatically part of their relevant communities. To self-identify, visit your relevant Liberation Network page and use the self-identify options on the page.
