Around 50 students from different colleges and universities in Birmingham have occupied the Birmingham council chambers in the council house on Victoria square in protest at government plans to cut EMA and higher education funding, and raise tuition fees .

Council chambers occupied!

They are also acting in solidarity with the thousands of Birmingham City council workers who may lose their jobs in the next few months. They are demanding to speak to the councils education officers in the presence of the media.

Well done to all those taking part. Is there anything those who support your actions can do to support the occupation?
