Public forum with: Marianne Mackay (Nyoongar Tent Embassy) Natasha Moore (Socialist Alliance) and other speakers from the Nyoongar Tent Embassy Establishment media have tried to vilify Aboriginal protesters at the 40th anniversary commemoration of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra, and more recently in WA. The Nyoongar Tent Embassy has been established partly to protest against an unfair land deal the Barnett government wants to push through. More fundamentally, it is about sovereignty for Aboriginal people. This forum will discuss the recent developments, the legitimacy of Aboriginal resistance against genocide and how best solidarity can be built. 6:30pm Wed 22 Feb Perth Activist Centre, 15/5 Aberdeen St, Perth (next to McIver station) Attend on Facebook: www.facebook.com/events/112866075505082 Ph 9218 9608, 0413 976 638.
