It feels like Jamnesty 2022 just happened, but we're back again with Jamnesty: Hunger is Never on Strike!! As mentioned in the campaign roadmap article, this term we are focused on the 'Right to Food' campaign, in the wider fight against food poverty.
Therefore, we are raising money for Rainbow Junktion, which is a local food bank, pay as you feel café and LGBTQ+ safe space!
We've got 4 amazing artists, performing at Belgrave Music Hall on the 21st of March. Tickets are out!! They're £4 on engage for members and £5 on fixr for non-members. If your society would like to make this an official social, we can give you a discount code. We also have a 'pay as you feel' policy, which is an option to pay less than the £5, either in advance or on the door. Please just message the Instagram (@leedsuniamnesty) to let us know :)
