If your union is on the list, grab a flag and join the contingent. If your union isn't on the list call your organiser and ask why. Rank and file organising in unions has been key to driving solidarity with Palestine.

A record number of unions have pledged their support for the March for Humanity — the MUA, ASU, Nurses & Midwives Association, ETU and more. This is a step towards rebuilding a union movement that sees the power of workers as key to winning justice in the face of war & genocide.

Lies and slander continue to be heaped upon the Palestine solidarity movement. Still ordinary working class people can recognise a genocide when they see it.

We are witnessing a systematic starvation plan unfold in the Gaza Strip. In the face of that Aus politicians have refused to take real material action to oppose the genocide. Penny Wong this week had the gaul to describe F35 parts that Australia sends to the IDF as “non-lethal”.

We won! The people will be marching across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to oppose the genocide in Gaza. Minns tried to stop us. The cops tried to stop us. But the mass outpouring of solidarity with Gaza is unstoppable.

NSW Socialists calls on the Australian Govt to sanction Israel now. Cut all military & economic ties. Arrest those accused of war crimes in Australia. Expel the Israeli ambassador & withdraw the Australian embassy from Tel Aviv. We need real action for Gaza now!

During the Vietnam war the best elements of the union movement called on Australian workers to “stop work to stop the war” during the Moratorium marches. Union solidarity with Gaza is a step towards rebuilding a workers movement capable of challenging war and genocide.

It’s excellent to see unions like ETU, ASU & NSWNMA endorse the March for Humanity. If you’re a unionist, reach out to your union about endorsing the march and organising a contingent. We know the workers movement can be a powerful force for peace, justice & anti-imperialism.

Minns lit the Opera House in the colours of the Israeli flag early in the genocide. The people of NSW now demand that our bridge is used as a symbol of humanity & solidarity with Gaza. We want to shut down our city to demand our rulers shut down a genocide.

The Bridge is closed for Hollywood films, marathons and fireworks that bring in tens of millions of dollars for bosses. The bosses and politicians who have backed this genocide would prefer Sydney to be a playground of the rich, its icons only used to make money.

Sydney workers built the Harbour Bridge. It’s our bridge and the most iconic symbol of our city. We marched across it for LGBTI rights and Indigenous justice.

The images of skeletal men, women and children we are seeing demand a mass response.

This weekend we need to see a mass outpouring of solidarity with Palestine. Gaza is being starved before our eyes after nearly two years of bombing, siege, ethnic cleansing and war crimes. Now Israel is carrying out a deliberate campaign of mass starvation

The Minns Government must let the people of NSW march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to show our solidarity with Gaza. 🧵

Western leaders are once again peddling lies about WMDs to justify war. Albanese is backing the only nuclear-armed power in the Middle East (Israel) and the only power thats dropped a nuclear bomb (the US) as it bombs nuclear power stations risking a new Chernobyl-style disaster.

Solidarity with the Madleen from Sydney protesting outside PM Albanese's office. The whole world is watching the brave crew & passengers of the Madleen. They risk their lives to break the starvation siege of Gaza while politicians arm, defend and abet a genocide

Protesting outside Anthony Albanese office in Sydney in solidarity with the Madleen. The Aus Govt must condemn the Israeli assault on the Madleen freedom flotilla. Cut military, economic and diplomatic ties with Israel! Sanctions now!
