UCU join our affiliate Abortion Rights in standing in solidarity with all facing escalating attacks on abortion rights in the US and worldwide. We condemn the leaked SCOTUS draf position on reversing Roe V Wade. We applaud the achievements of mass movements including in South America, Poland and the RoI and support those mobilising now in defence of the right to bodily autonomy and healthcare.
UCU support the right to safe, legal abortion and note that this is something we continue to strive for in the UK.
We resolve to:
1. Send solidarity to sibling unions and activist groups mobilising in defence of choice
2. Support national and local solidarity demonstrations in support of abortion rights world wide
3. Organise regional and branch meetings to campaign on reproductive rights and build solidarity with global movements fighting for these
