who are we?
We are a student party that aims to be a link between all intersectional, decolonial, radical, leftist and progressive students and staff at the University of Amsterdam.
For the last 3 years we’ve been one of the most active voices within the UvA student councils, working on cutting ties with fossil fuel interests, fighting for the rights of international students and aiding in the academic boycott of universities complicit in genocide.
The Activistenpartij UvA is an active community of students, student-organisations and staff that want to enact radical change in our university, from within the university system as well as from the outside.
Our Goals
A fair and accessible university
We believe education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background or financial situation. We’re fighting for affordable housing, fair tuition, and better mental health resources.
A moral and sustainable future
We demand bold climate action, divestment from unethical corporations, and a commitment to decolonization in education.
True democracy
Students and staff should have real influence on university decisions. We’re working towards a stronger medezeggenschap with more democratic rights for the student body.
A Place of Learning, Not a Diploma Factory
Education should inspire curiosity and critical thinking, not just prepare students for the labor market in the fastest way possible.
What can you do within the party?

You can have a say in what happens at the university from within the ‘medezeggenschap’ system. Our growing presence within the councils secures our spot at the university.
