We call on everyone who hates racism and fascism to join us to rally and march against the agenda of MFA that day. \;\n \;\nWe take ins piration from the huge nationwide rallies against Pauline Hanson’s racis t One Nation party by school and university students on 14 August. This is a chance for all ages to build on their momentum. \;\n \;\nWe a re doing our best to make our rally and march safe for everyone to parti cipate in. We will be at a safe distance from their event\, and will not be engaging with them in skirmishes on the streets. \;\n \;\nIt i s one year since MFA’s first round of big marches around the country\, w hich was a terrifying moment for everyone who believes in equality. Thei r marches highlighted a hatred of immigration\, amplifying the lies that migrants are the cause of the housing shortage and rising cost of livin g. \;\n \;\nMany MFA organisers are open neo-Nazis. In Naarm/Melbo urne\, the march emboldened some of these Nazis to trash Camp Sovereignt y\, an Aboriginal protest camp. \;\n \;\nFREE SPEECH HYPOCRISY \;\n \;\nThis time MFA are claiming their mobilisation is about free speech. Their promotional videos make it clear what free speech means fo r them: the right to abuse and attack people who don't fit their vision of a White Australia. \;\n \;\nWe’ve seen their version of free sp eech in action this month\, with the break-in and scrawled swastikas at the Semaphore Workers Club\, and abuse of players with Fijian and other heritage in suburban soccer. \;\n \;\nFreedom of speech is importa nt. But when we talk about free speech in Australia\, we must also ask: whose speech has historically been protected\, and whose has been silenc ed? \;\n \;\nTHE REAL FREE SPEECH CRISIS \;\n \;\nFor First Nations people\, freedom of speech has never been equal. Aboriginal peop le have been punished for speaking language\, practising culture\, resis ting dispossession\, naming violence and asserting sovereignty — while r acist policies and ideas have been given enormous institutional power.&# 13\;\n \;\nFirst Nations communities continue to be targeted by racis t movements and hate speech today. They must not become an afterthought in conversations about racism and free speech. \;\n \;\nWith Austr alian governments and industry supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza\, fr ee speech to defend Palestine is increasingly under attack. More and mor e workers are pressured by employers to self-censor what they say in the ir private lives\, including on social media\, making it harder and hard er to participate in democratic processes. \;\n \;\nMarch for Aust ralia has no interest in these genuine struggles for free speech. It ope nly targets migrant and refugee communities\, LGBTIQ+ people\, First Nat ions people and abortion rights. \;\n \;\nNO TO MARCH FOR AUSTRALI A\, NO TO ONE NATION \;\n \;\nWith Pauline Hanson's One Nation gro wing in the polls\, we can't sit back while racists mobilise. \;\n&# 13\;\nPlease message the page or email info@apnsa.org if your organisati on would like to support this action. \;\n \;\nSee you at Mukata/H indmarch Sq\, 11:30 am Sunday 30 August. \;\n \;\nYES TO FREE SPEE CH. NO TO RACISM. \;\n \;\n \;\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events /1701728701129889/\n\nTags: anti-racism\, Racism\, Rally\n\nImported fro m: https://seedbomb.au/events/706 URL:https://www.facebook.com/events/1701728701129889/ SUMMARY:RALLY: YES to FREE SPEECH - NO to RACISM LOCATION:Hindmarsh Square / Mukata: false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
