Welcome to Warwick Left Society
Who We Are
Warwick Left Society is a student-led community at the University of Warwick. We focus on progressive politics, solidarity, and activism. Our goal is to create an open and welcoming space where students can learn, share, and act on the issues that matter most to them.
What We Stand For
We believe in equality, justice, and inclusion. Our society supports diverse voices and encourages open conversations. We want political engagement to feel accessible, not intimidating. Whether you are new to politics or already active, you will find a place with us.
What We Do
Our events range from friendly discussions and speaker evenings to hands-on campaigns. We address issues such as climate action, workers’ rights, and global justice. These events give students the chance to explore ideas, ask questions, and learn from inspiring speakers.
At the same time, we provide opportunities for direct action. Members can join campaigns that make a difference both on campus and beyond. By taking part, you can connect with like-minded students and help create positive change.
Community and Social Life
Activism is important, but so is building a community. That’s why we also host socials such as film nights, quizzes, and informal meet-ups. These events help members connect outside of politics and form lasting friendships. Working together is easier when people feel supported and included.
Why Join Us
If you want to explore progressive ideas, campaign for change, and meet new people, Warwick Left Society is the place for you. You can choose your level of involvement—attend one event, take part in a campaign, or join our organising team. Everyone is welcome.
Get Involved
Join us today and be part of a student movement that stands for fairness, inclusion, and solidarity. Together, we can build a more just and supportive community at Warwick.

Join us and over twenty societies next week for a number of exciting events in our ‘General Strike Festival: A Century’s Anniversary’! 🚩
This is a short festival that will be hosted on Monday May 11th and Tuesday May 12th, marking exactly 100 years since the conclusion of the UK’s General Strike in 1926. It will consist of a variety of events all day on both days, celebrating the UK’s rich history of struggle for workers’ liberation.
100 years ago, the General Council of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) mobilised 1.7 million workers to fight in solidarity against wage reductions for over a million coal miners. This was a display of the revolutionary potential for mass mobilisation across the country, with many lessons to be learnt to ensure successes in workers’ movements today and in our path toward a free and fair, socialist future. ✊
On Monday 11th, we have a range of societies joining us, including @warwickcommunists , @warwick_sass , @warwicktranssociety , @qulturewarwick , @warwickpride , @warwickdiscourse , @warwickspeakeasy , and @rethinkecon.warwick .
On Tuesday 12th, we are joined by @animalrightswarwick , @plantbaseduniswarwick , @warwick.greens , @climatejusticewarwick , @warwickaltproteinproject , @warwickclothescircuit , @warwicksociologysoc , @warwickmagic , @uwarsoc , @staratwarwick , @warwicksudanisoc , @warwickforpalestine , @warwickunicef , @warwickwrisoc , and @warwickdeadpoetssociety .
We are looking forward to seeing you there! In solidarity, Riann (trade unions’ officer).
