To get the justice done, the splintered, shard-like "left" needs to coalesce

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Fri, 09/03/2012 - 11:32pm

The compassionate left wing screams for social justice and argues for our governments and society's institutions to have a heart and help people from the bottom end up, and to desist with the proposition that they can achieve for the downtrodden by working from the top end of town and down.

The bona fide left wing is fractious and forever splintering and yet it calls out for groundswells of people power to coalesce in mass social movements which will give rise to cultural waves.

REFUGEE MOVEMENT CALL TO ACTION…
Easter 2012: converge on Darwin!

When we again protest during Easter next year, it will mark 10 years since the refugee rights movement’s first Easter convergence—Woomera 2002, when busloads of protesters from across the country met magnificent protests by detainees, many of whom leapt through the fence and literally into the arms of the movement.

On 5 March 5 peace activists- Andy Paine, Christel Palmer, Jim Dowling, Cully Palmer and Sean O’Reilly- will appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court to answer charges of causing a public nuisance and disobeying a police direction without reasonable cause.
