Solidarity is our sword and shield ✊

Today was powerful. Our organisers met with comrades from the Belden Sawyer Tenant Association to share stories, strategies, and the unshakable belief that a better world is possible.

URGENT CALL OUT - DEFEND PUBLIC HOUSING IN NORTH MELBOURNE

**7am Tuesday, June 3**

33 Aflred St, North Melbourne

Homes Victoria have commenced demolition work on public housing towers in North Melbourne while residents are still living there.

Join us on the picket. Stop the demolition.
Graphic with event details graphic which reads : We won today but residents are still under threat! We need you to join the community picket starting tomorrow! Residents have asked our community for support in resisting dangerous drilling works seemingly intended to drive them from their homes. These works represent both a danger to residents and the beginning of the demolition for the towers. > We can’t let them take a finger or they’ll take the whole hand. Invite your friends, get involved, do a little even if you can’t do a lot. Solidarity

As Unionists we know protest only works when it’s inconvenient. “social cohesion” means nothing when it’s complicit with planned poverty, colonialism, housing exploitation, climate disaster, and genocide!

Join us at

5:30pm today
Wednesday March 19,
Vic Parliament, Spring Street

"While the Allan Government forges ahead with the unpopular plans to demolish the state’s mid-century public housing towers, Minister for Housing, Harriet Shing, has demonstrated that these iconic buildings can and should be preserved as public assets."
