The Palestine Action Group Sydney is calling for a mass March for Humanity across the Sydney Harbour Bridge next Sunday.
At least 127 people, including 85 children, have so far died from starvation in Gaza, along with over a thousand who have been shot and killed while queueing for aid in recent weeks.
The deliberate starvation of 2 million Gazans is a part of a broader plan, repeatedly announced by Israeli leaders, to either kill or expel the entire Palestinian population from Gaza. This is a genocide. Even if, under global pressure, Israel temporarily allows some food into Gaza, it will not mean the end of Israel’s goal of ethnically cleansing the strip, called by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu “the Trump Plan”.
This extraordinary situation has led the Palestine Action Group to call for a March for Humanity over the Sydney Harbour Bridge next Sunday, 3 August, to save Gaza. We call on everyone, every individual and every organisation, who cannot bear to do nothing in the face of this atrocity, to join with us.
As Australia’s most iconic symbol, a mass march across the Harbour Bridge will send a powerful message to the world, to Gaza, to Israel, and to our own Government, that we are determined to stand up for humanity.
We call on the NSW authorities, and the NSW Government, to facilitate this March for Humanity.
In 2023 the Harbour Bridge was closed for a special march to mark World Pride, which PM Anthony Albanese participated in. That same year saw the Bridge closed for several hours to shoot a scene for a Ryan Gosling film. It can certainly be closed to stop a genocide.
We appeal to organisations and high profile individuals to please sign on and endorse this March for Humanity. See the link to a sign-on statement and form to endorse here.
Our current plan is to assemble at Lang Park, Sydney, near Wynyard station, 1pm Sunday 3 August, and to march across the Bridge to the US Consulate in North Sydney; but please note these details may change.
We have lodged a Form 1 notifying NSW Police of our intentions.
Let's do this!
Save Gaza! Free Palestine!
