Erguer-Estudantes da Galiza (Erguer, Wake Up-Students of Galiza in Galician language) is a Galician student union that advocates for a public, democratic, galician language, quality and antipatriarchal education. Any high school, vocational training or university student can join Erguer. Erguer also advocates for Galician independence and a Republic of Galicia.[1]
History
Erguer was born on March 5, 2016 at the "Colexío de Fonseca" (University of Santiago de Compostela) as the merger of the 3 previous nationalist student organizations, Galician Student League, AGIR and Comités.[2] Its first public action after the foundational assembly was to call for a student strike in all Galiza for the 13 of April.[3]
