<\/a> Contents<\/p> This page sets out what we intend to do this year in terms of campaigns, fundraisers and events. These campaigns were voted on by members of the group as our four main areas of focus, and we may also include others that members bring to our attention. If you have any comments or suggestions please leave them below or email us using the contact details on the about us page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our main campaign for the year is the Conflict-Free Campus Initiative (CFCI)<\/a>:<\/p>\n \n“The CFCI is a global student movement that takes a consumer-directed approach to demanding an end to this conflict. It focuses on the Democratic Republic of Congo where some of the most grave human rights abuses are taking place throughout the process of mineral extraction under the control of armed rebel groups.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We started this campaign last year and made some significant progress:<\/p>\n \n“Last year we got the SRC to pass a motion, made our own campaign video for a Conflict-Free Glasgow University<\/a> and started a petition to David Newall and Anton Muscatelli, requesting a change in procurement and investment policy. We also contacted various MSPs to support the campaign, resulting in a Motion being launched in the Scottish Parliament by Patrick Harvie MSP who also came on campus to be interviewed about this movement.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We will be working on the CFCI throughout the year, but in the meantime you might want to get started by signing our petition<\/a>.
