Dear friends and comrades:
This Thursday the 10th of January, at 7.00 at the Redfern Community Centre we will have the first meeting of the year for the Justice for TJ-Stop Deaths in Custody campaigns. This meeting is very important because we are coming very fast to the 9th anniversary of the TJ’s death. Also don’t forget that we will have Invasion Day very soon and is our best chance of collecting as many signature as possible.
So the proposed agenda will be:
1) TJ rally
2) Activities on Invasion Day
3) Aboriginal Passport ceremony on Invasion Day
4) Solidarity with Canadian First Nations peoples and the IDLE NO MORE Campaign
I hope I see you there.
