Radical Women Meeting
Thursday, 30 August, 7.00 pm
Feminists talk about:
Policing Rebellion vs Our Right to Resist =8B the militarising of Australia's
police
From Seattle to Prague, Melbourne to Quebec, brutal police attacks on
massive anti-capitalist protests have shattered the image of the
community-spirited cop. The shooting down of protesters in Port Moresby and
Genoa show their far-reaching powers.
Jude McCulloch, feminist lawyer and author of "Blue Army: Paramilitary
Policing in Australia," will be Radical Women=B9s special guest speaker.
RW's Delia Maxwell, veteran of the Richmond Secondary College picketlines
and the anti-capitalist protests of S11 and M1, will chair. In the lead-up
to Melbourne's demonstrations against the Commonwealth Heads of Government
(CHOGM) Business Forum in October, join us in learning how Australia's
police forces have been transformed into crack troops, and why. Discuss
what those on the front lines of today's revolts - women, unionists,
queers, migrants, Aborigines, students, elders and young, people with
disabilities - can do about it. Everyone is welcome!
The meeting is free and held at Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Rd, Brunswick.
Dinner is served at 6.30pm for a $6.00 donation. For more information,
