High school students' magazine launched

By Tessha Mearing

WOLLONGONG — On February 12, high school student members of Resistance launched Revolt — Student Underground.

Revolt will be produced twice every term. It aims to inform high school students about issues that immediately affect them, and about other local and global issues. The first issue of Revolt included articles on censorship, the law and order crackdown against youth, an information spread about Resistance and the anti-racism campaign.

As well as producing the magazine, Resistance activists are planning to organise school meetings and actions as part of campaigns against the federal government's cuts to education and youth services funding, and other attacks on young people.

High school activist Adrian Donoghue told Green Left Weekly, "Last year's federal budget included major attacks on many sectors of society, but particularly on young people. High school students have no vote, few rights and no voice — that is why it's crucial that we organise ourselves and campaign publicly against the attacks."

If you would like to contribute to Revolt, can help produce or distribute it, or would like a copy, telephone Resistance on 262 010.
