How will councillors vote? Despite strong community support, many councillors remain undecided.
That’s why we’re calling on you to pack the council chambers with us on Tuesday the 12th! We'll gather at 5:30pm so councillors must walk through a crowd of supporters on their way in. Can you be there?
Please RSVP: www.risingtide.org.au/council-vote-rsvp

Join us to put the pressure on councillor's to do the right thing and support the community's right to protest.
