To be announced: The World Congress of Families is hunting around for a location to escape the protest. Stay in touch with the Facebook event for updated information: https://www.facebook.com/events/730623416997693/

This international far-right group is holding its 7th summit in Glen Iris, Melbourne on August 30: http://www.endeavourforum.org.au/newsletter/153/wcf-melbourne.html. Organisers are the Endeavour Forum and Knights of the Southern Cross, whose missions are openly misogynist, homophobic and transphobic. Victoria’s rightwing Attorney-General, Robert Clark, will welcome this gathering.

Other parliamentarians involved in the event are Kevin Andrews, federal Minister for Social Services and World Congress of Families’ international ambassador; Eric Abetz, Minister for Employment and slasher of the public sector; anti-abortion crusaders, Bernie Finn and Fred Nile; and Cory Bernardi, known for his homophobic and anti-Muslim zealotry.

The congress is a coming together of a well-connected far-right movement, aimed at advancing Abbot’s budget and policies: to drive women and the most oppressed back to the homes, closets, countries, poverty and Dickensian work hellholes we have struggled to escape and overcome.

LET’S GIVE THE WORLD CONGRESS OF FAMILIES THE WELCOME IT DESERVES:
8.00 am: “Welcome” action
