PROTEST AGAINST RACISM, July 1

The Brisbane Anti-Racist Campaign will be organising a rally outside the Gold Coast launch of the Pauline Hanson One Nation Party.

The ARC has organised several rallies and marches against racism over the last six months, including a march of 5,000 people through Brisbane last November. It is an umbrella group comprising community groups, unions and individual members of various communities.

At a meeting in Brisbane on Monday, June 2, the ARC decided to publicly protest the Gold Coast stage of Hanson's travelling roadshow. She will be speaking on Tuesday, July 1, at 7.30pm at the Gold Coast Arts Centre, Bundall rd, near Chevron Island. The ARC has advertised a protest outside beginning at 5.30pm.

Buses and other transport will be arranged from Brisbane and details finalised at the next meeting of the ARC at 6pm, Monday June 16. The meeting will be on the second floor of the ACTU building, 16 Peel St, Sth Brisbane.

These meetings are open and all supporters of the campaign are invited to attend and help to organise this and other events.

Terry Symonds,
ARC (Brisbane)
