Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday protesters in Meanjin/Brisbane call for peace and a ceasefire, March 24

The traditional Palm Sunday rallies for peace and refugee rights were organised on the 24th week of continuous protests against Israel's genocide against the people of Gaza. Alex Bainbridge reports.

The campaign to end Australia’s involvement in the unjust war in Afghanistan has picked up momentum in the last few months in Melbourne. In December, a number of peace activists decided to organise regular anti-war activities, to tell people the truth about the foreign occupation force and call for Australian troops to be withdrawn. Since then, three vigils have been held across Melbourne. Activists handed out hundreds of leaflets called “Eight reasons to get out of Afghanistan”.
