Campaign kicks off in solidarity with healthcare workers and pro-vaccination trade unionists
Following the shocking scenes of known neo-Nazis and members of the far-right joining anti-vax construction workers in riots demanding the right to overwhelm the health system under the guise of “freedom”, CARF held a public forum last Tuesday to discuss how anti-fascists should respond. The meeting was attended by over 630 people opposing right-wing attacks on unions.
The following night, over 360 activists met to start organising an emergency response to the fascist riots. We launched a new campaign under the slogan PRO-VAX, PRO-UNION, ANTI-FASCIST.
Through this campaign we started the #DontScabGetTheJab photo petition for trade unionists and anti-fascists to show their support for healthcare workers and opposition to the anti-vaxxers. Today, we've coordinated a massive run of posters and stickers across the city and suburbs. Over 230 anti-fascists have hit the streets to cover Melbourne in pro-vax, pro-union messages.
Get involved in the campaign, donate to help us print posters, stickers and badges, and come along to our next organising meeting.
