Youth Against Racism launched

By Simon Frew

WOLLONGONG — On July 26, Youth Against Racism held its first meeting. YAR was initiated by Resistance as a broad coalition to combat the formation of Pauline Hanson's One Nation youth group.

The aims of YAR are to unite youth against racism, to educate the public about common myths associated with migrants and Aborigines, and to build an active campaign against the racist agenda of the Liberal Party — including the Wik 10-point plan and cuts to immigration.

A range of events are planned, including an action on August 16 supporting native title and land rights. Phone 262 010 for more details.
