Campaigns

Let's make a difference together.

The reason why we campaign is simple

Campaigning is one of the primary ways that real change happens, by reshaping societal norms and structures, building meaningful community and solidarity, and holding the powerful to account.

If there's a change you want to see at Strathclyde, Scotland, or the world, a campaign could help you achieve it. Find out more about the legacy of campaigning left by Strathclyde alumni, and how Strath Union can support you in your campaign!
