National Day of Protest | Cut ties with Trump’s America
1pm Saturday 24 May @ State Library
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. One Nation received 6% of the vote and Trumpet of Patriots received 2%.
We need to build a radical movement to stop the Trumpification of politics and demand that our government cuts ties with Trump's America.
There will be protests happening across the country in:
Melbourne
Sydney
Wollongong
Canberra
Brisbane
Adelaide
Perth
Get involved wherever in Australia you are.
Join the protest

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.
