Do the work to connect the dots between how white supremacy expresses itself in Australia. This is racism in Australia at work. Name it as such. Call it out. This #RefugeeWeek connect that #deathsincustody and deaths in detention are two expressions of the same system.
“The police are being really heavy handed, throwing and punching people around despite nothing but peaceful protests. There are young girls with black eyes, being punched in the collar bone, it's just disgusting.”
-Msg now from Kangaroo Point Central Hotel blockade #gameover
the Kangaroo Point Central Hotel blockade was set up the last few days to prevent the government/SERCO from smuggling out refugees detained in the hotel to higher security prisons like BITA. #freethemnow #setthemfree #justiceforrefugees #gameover #refugeeweek
This #RefugeeWeek challenge the racism of rejecting those who need safety.
For 7 years people seeking safety have had their futures frozen in indefinite detention. During that time we have had 5 Prime Ministers yet nothing has changed for these people *STILL* in detention.
