"Sending a 'special' message
The homemade labels, made to look like real Woolworths and Coles shelf tickets, have been placed in stores across Australia.

They highlight the big profits the businesses have made in the past year, the high wages of executives, the affordability of food,
and the issue of food wastage.

One message labelled as a 'special' with a Woolworths logo on it reads: "We understand that times are tough, and that’s why we pay our CEO over $20,000 a day.""

Anarchism in
"This is the fourth of a short series that we dedicate to the memory of Chile’s revolutionaries on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 1973 military coup d’état against the Chilean revolution and the government of Salvador Allende.

A story is told of Salvador Allende, and by him, that as a young man and student in Valparaíso, Chile, he would seek the company after school of an old Italian anarchist and shoe maker, Juan Demarchi, from whom he received his first political education."

hello. there were a few developments in my city that made me feel very hopeless. I thought of this illustration project in response. If you work in the third/social/ngo sector or as an organiser/activist/advocate or anything adjacent, and have experienced despair, I'd love to read your response!

if you find it interesting, please fill it and share with folks who may be interested. ♥️

The Truth Is Stronger Than the Baton – THE 99%
Trickle-Down – Tragically Hip

A musical offering of one of my favorite songs. Someone set it to images of "Occupy" and other protests against injustice and fascist oppression.

Are the hungry, homeless, and hurting the problem or the hateful haughty hypocrites? You are the 99%.

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

Is India Still a Democracy? Political Prisoners Tell Their Stories

During the three-year-long trial against Professor GN Saibaba and the other men, which ran from 2014 to 2017, the prosecution produced no real evidence. Of 23 witnesses presented before the court by the prosecution, 22 were police officers. The only civilian witness retracted his confession after claiming it resulted from torture. While Saibaba’s health deteriorated in prison, Rahi, the social activist and journalist, alleged that he, Mishra, Narote, and Mahesh Tirki were tortured in custody by investigating officer Suhas Bawache.

Peaceful protesters should never be criminalised or imprisoned. 

"Rise of draconian anti-protest laws in Australia is highlighted by UN Special Rapporteur"

"A UN Special Rapporteur has raised concerns about increasingly draconian laws that restrict citizens’ rights to peaceful protest around Australia."

“Over the past 18 months, maximum fines for certain types of peaceful protest in some states increased 10-fold and prison terms trebled."

Australia: Deep divide between Government and community narratives on toxics fuels anger and distrust, says UN expert, Media release, UN- Special Rapporteur, 8-9-23.
“Draconian restrictions on the right to peaceful protest in several states aggravate the distance between State and society."
