Invasion Day Rally - no pride in genocide!
The war on Aboriginal people continues… Sovereignty and Justice Now!
This rally will mark 229 years since British military forces invaded Gadigal land and declared British rule over this continent, along with Aotearoa and other Pacific Islands. While colonial regime continues to hold a day of celebration, we resist the ongoing war against Aboriginal people.
From the brutalisation of black youth in detention, the murder of men and women in custody, the theft of children from families, the destruction of Aboriginal lands to feed corporate profits, the apartheid NT Intervention, the forced removal of communities,
First Nations on this continent are under heavy assault from a new wave of dispossession. But the fightback is also growing and urgently needs your support.
