After the racist rally against immigration that spread fear and hatred in Naarm, we are putting a call out for unity against racism. We won't let them divide us!
We know that migrants are not to blame for the cost-of-living crisis. If the government have money for weapons, then they have money for housing, education, and health care. Enough with the scapegoating!
Racism only spreads fear and division, weakening our ability to fight for real change.
We in RAC are campaigning against Labor's Trump-like deportation laws. We also stand in solidarity with those who faced attacks from Nazis at Camp Sovereignty.
We want this rally to be the biggest, broadest possible public demonstration of support for migrants and refugees in opposition to hate, fear and division.
To make this happen, we ask on you to call on your local community group, your union, your Labor or Greens branch, activist organisations or student clubs or your place of worship to endorse this family friendly rally.
Plan a contingent and spread the message.
To endorse the event, either message our page or email us at [email protected].
