REFUGEE RIGHTS SUPPORTERS AND ANTI-RACIST BANDS ARE JOINING FORCES!
Calling all refugee supporters! We need to take to the streets once again to stop Rudd & Abbott's racist anti-refugee policies. One rally, two rallies is not enough. We have to keep on taking a stand until the PNG deal is scrapped and the racist tide is pushed back.
On Saturday 27 July, 5000 people marched for justice for refugees. This is the largest refugee rights demonstration in about a decade! Congratulations to everyone who came.
But we can't rest. The rally on Saturday voted for another protest next week to keep the momentum. So this Friday night refugee rights supporters and anti-racist musicians are joining together to say 'NOT IN OUR NAME' will you trash the lives of refugees. It is not a crime to seek asylum by boat. We want to welcome refugees into the community with open arms.
Call out to all anti-racist musicians & performers - we need your skills to make this happen. Get in contact via the facebook link if you want to take part.
We demand:
* DON'T LET RUDD DUMP REFUGEES ON PNG
* WELCOME REFUGEE BOATS - LET THEM IN, LET THEM STAY
* INCREASE REFUGEE INTAKE FROM INDONESIA TO SAVE LIVES
* NO TO DEPORTATIONS
* NO BORDERS
