The science confirms this and yet corporations and politicians do nothing. The Australian system is responsible. It's unrelenting extraction and exploitation of the land and people threatens the foundations of our life support systems. A system motivated solely by profit will not stop unless something gets in the way. How do we build a resistance movement in this urgent context under a rigged political system? Blockade Australia is a organizing network of people spanning all across the continent. Using direct action to confront the Australian system at it's most significant points. Through resistance of this kind we begin to create space for new life preserving horizons.   Join us to reflect on Blockade Australia’s recent mobilisation and discuss how action like this works to build a serious challenge to Australia’s climate destroying operations. We'll discuss strategic direct action, the tactics used to cause disruption, hear from people who took action, and local organising happening in your area. This is a chance to connect with the Blockade Australia network and be a part of future plans. Together we can make real change possible and restore hope in the continuation of life on this planet. ~~~ This event is taking place on First Nations lands and we acknowledge First Nations struggles and the ongoing resistance to the colonial project of Australia. We pay respect to all First Nations communities and honour the Elders who came before and are with us now. https://actionnetwork.org/events/online-info-talks-blockade-australia-3
