🚨 CALLING ALL ANTI-RACISTS 🚨
The far right is trying to march through our multicultural city, using women’s safety as a cover for racism. It’s disrespectful to survivors and dangerous for our communities.

The govt's proposed new asylum laws are impractical, ineffectual, and outright cruel. Aping the rhetoric of Reform won't fix the real issues in this country; it will only stir up more false divisions and endanger already vulnerable communities.

Under PR, we could just vote for whoever we support - and every vote would count. Sounds better, doesn't it?

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
