Support an 'anti-racist voice'

SYDNEY - One-hundred and eighty people packed into Casa D’Italia
in Leichhardt on November 24 to celebrate Green Left Weekly and
raise funds to support it. Enjoying the delicate flavours of Middle Eastern
food, attendees were entertained by local band 11-piece jazz/funk group,
Exploding Happiness.

Green Left Weekly was toasted by Democratic Socialist Party member
Max Lane, who stood for the Socialist Alliance in the seat of Lowe in the
federal elections. Lane described the growing threat of racism and xenophobia
in Australia, pointing out that this would continue while First World governments
tried to justify their “war on the people of the Third World”.

“Imagine what the last few months would have been like without Green
Left Weekly”, Lane asked the audience. “Who else is always on the streets
denouncing the government’s racist refugee policies, and the war? What
would it have been like without that anti-racist voice?”. He then urged
participants to further support GLW, by donating money or helping
with its distribution.
