RALLY: DEFEND OUR RIGHT TO PROTEST ➡️ TUES NOV 17 ➡️ CIVIC PARK
PLEASE SHARE! Let’s make this huge! 💪
Newcastle City Council must immediately reverse its protest ban.
The Minns government must end its war on civil liberties and uphold the right to peaceful assembly.
This protest has been organised and endorsed by a broad spectrum of "issue motivated groups and individuals".
We are seeking further endorsements! Contact 0468 895 372 if your organisation would like to sign on.
Earlier this week, Newcastle Council passed a motion to ban any event or protest organised by Rising Tide or "issue-motivated groups" or individuals on council-owned land, “now and into the future.”
Newcastle Lord Mayor Gavin Morris secretly collaborated with NSW Premier Chris Minns and Police Minister Yasmin Catley to create and pass the last-minute motion. Labor Councillor Declan Clausen crossed the floor to join the five independent and Liberal councillors to pass this authoritarian motion.
We know that an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. By standing together, we can push back and defend our right to take a stand for the issues we care about as a community. Let’s make this huge! 💪
