PROTEST: Oppose the anti-vax far right In Melbourne
Join the Campaign Against Racism andFascism in Melbourne to protest the far-right anti-vaxxers trying to march in our streets, as part of a national day of anti-fascist action. Let everyone know that Melbourne is a pro-vax, anti-fascist town!
The far-right figures involved in the anti-vax, anti-lockdown movement
While the ‘freedom’ demonstrators try to present themselves as apolitical — innocents who are merely vaccine hesitant — the reality is very different. Scratch the surface and it becomes clear that the key figures, spokespeople, and organisations leading and organising the movement are associated with various right wing, far Right, conspiracy and even neo-Nazi currents. There are many people at these demonstrations who may not know who they are marching alongside, but the verdict is in, these protests are breeding grounds for some of the most appalling politics around.
Campaign kicks off in solidarity with healthcare workers and pro-vaccination trade unionists
Following the shocking scenes of known neo-Nazis and members of the far-right joining anti-vax construction workers in riots demanding the right to overwhelm the health system under the guise of “freedom”, CARF held a public forum last Tuesday to discuss how anti-fascists should respond. The meeting was attended by over 630 people opposing right-wing attacks on unions.
Protest against Milo Yiannopoulos in Melbourne
CARF held a successful demonstration outside Milo Yiannopoulos’ sold out Melbourne shows in Kensington last night with up to 500 people taking part despite the last minute release of the location details. Milo is well known for his provocative views and is a key figure within a growing international far right movement known as the Alt Right. The protest had been organised with the aim of drawing attention to the fact that Milo is a Nazi sympathiser and to involve as many diverse people as possible.
Statement on Reclaim Australia Mobilisations in Melbourne
Reclaim Australia was very successful on 4 April in aggregating racist and fascist forces throughout Australia. This had been a long term project of the far right in Australia for many years and for many years the left had prevented it from occurring.
