How Do We Stop Another Religious Discrimination Bill?

from Anarchist Communists Meanjin By John David Card

Anarchist-Communists Meanjin urges readers to consider that permanent solutions will require a radical reapproach to our idea of politics and a departure from the dead-end of electoralism. No matter how galling the political outlook feels right now or after the upcoming election, just remember that the potential for change lies squarely with everyday, working-class people who care about these sorts of issues. In the short term, we can make sure that the Religious Discrimination Bill remains dead and buried by hitting the streets and showing our strength. Public demonstrations are planned against the stalled bill across the country over the next month. In Brisbane, the next rally is scheduled for March 12th, at 1pm, in King George Square. We’ll see you there.

Cuban Anarchists On Context and Importance of the Recent Wave of Protests
