Join us in calling on local governments to tear down the Flemington flood wall!

For too long, politicians have been prioritising the interests of big business over everyday, working people. The flooding of the Maribyrnong river has not only reaffirmed the urgency of the climate crisis, but also exposed the grip that industry lobbyists and corporations have on our infrastructure and elected officials. While residents in Maribynong and Kensington were forced to evacuate from their homes, the Flemington race course was left untouched.

Now, it is time for us to build a world that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. We will come together to call for a future where homes, livelihoods and safety is put before profit.
We will also have a community BBQ in Footscray park following the rally. More details to come.

This rally will take place on the stolen and unceded lands of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation, and we pay our respects to their elders, ancestors and warriors past and present.
