STOP ONE NATION

Join the Next Anti-Fascist Rally

drive hanson out of melbourne

Friday 12 June

5:45pm @ Queens Park war memorial, Moonee Ponds

Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce are holding a fundraiser in Moonee Ponds. These One Nation leaders are flying around the country to raise money and recruit to their racist project, backed by Australia's richest person Gina Rinehart.

One Nation can't be wished away or ignored. They're trying to create a Trumpist vision for Australia: deportations of migrants, overturning abortion rights, rampant Islamophobia, racist campaigns against Indigenous people, and attacks on workers.

We need to stand up and fight back. All anti-racists and anti-fascists need to join this demonstration next week to show that Pauline Hanson and One Nation can't just waltz around the suburbs of Melbourne recruiting to racism. We need to drive Hanson out of Melbourne.

About CARF

The Campaign Against Racism & Fascism was formed in 2015 to combat the Reclaim Australia movement. We mobilised anti-fascists and anti-racists to drive the far-right off the streets of Melbourne and in the last few years have made Melbourne an extremely hostile place for international “celebrity fascists” like Milo Yiannopoulos and Stefan Molyneux.

In 2021 CARF actively organised to free the refugees detained by the racist Australian state. We organised ongoing protests at the Mantra Hotel and then the Park Hotel in Melbourne, where Medevac refugees have been locked up indefinitely. After weeks of ongoing protests, dozens of refugees were released from the Park Hotel.

When the right-wing anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine movements provided ground for fascists to grow, CARF launched the ‘Pro-Vax, Pro-Union, Anti-Fascist’ campaign. We stand for public health and social solidarity, and are prepared to fight against reactionary movements that undermine the collective health and safety of the broader community.

In 2023 we ran a successful campaign to kick the Nazis out of Sunshine. It took months of organising protests against the NSN’s key organising space in Melbourne’s working class suburb of Sunshine, but we succeeded in booting out the Nazis.

We’ve learnt that it takes protests on the streets to defeat the far right. Join us at our next protest and push back against the far right.

United Rally Against Racism

When thousands of far right racists and Nazis March through our streets, we have a responsibility to organise and protest against them. These white supremacists attacked Camp Sovereignty, assaulted Black and Brown people and called for deportations of refugees and migrants.

On September 13 they are going to try and march again. Join us for an anti-racist united mass demonstration. We need to show that our side, the side of humanity and solidarity, is far bigger than they could ever be.

National Day of protest | Cut ties with Trump’s America

CARF has joined a nation-wide coalition against Trump and to call on Australia to cut ties with Trump's America.

Trump has been deporting migrants, denying trans people healthcare, attacking unions & workers rights and kidnapping pro-Palestine activists off the streets.

Shamefully, our government has helped normalise Trump's far right agenda by maintaining close military and political ties with America.

We also know that Australia's not immune from the growth of the far right on the streets & in parliament, despite the resounding defeat of the Liberal Party in the election.

We need to build a radical movement to stop the Trumpification of politics and demand that our government cuts ties with Trump's America.
