The camp for climate action will be five days of inspiring workshops & direct action aimed at shutting down the world's largest coal port in Newcastle, just north of Sydney. If you are concerned about climate change, and want real action instead of more hot air, then we encourage you to come, bring your friends and family and get involved. Whether you are old or young, a seasoned protestor or if you've never been to a protest in your life, if you share our passion for climate action, then climate camp is for you!

Jura will be showing a film and hosting a discussion about this important event.

National Day of Action – Unite for Aboriginal Land Rights!

STOP THE NT INVASION
LAND RIGHTS NOW!

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 18 10am
The Block in Redfern

Wear Red. bring your banners. flags. your (angry) mob.. grrr. and packed lunches!
March from The Block to Victoria Park where more is happening!

- Restore the Racial Discrimination Act

- Remove Commonwealth “Mission” Managers

- No cuts to Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP)

- Fund community controlled services, not troops and bureaucrats

- End racist welfare quarantines

Speakers from affected NT communities – find out what’s really going on that you’re not being told!!

We write this in solidarity with Indigenous groups who have organised this rally. We want to bring as much of our mob as possible in support of these communities.

If the government, cops and general workings of the Australian state can be so damaging to indigenous people and communities, they can just as easily turn on any other community – women, immigrants, workers, queers, or anybody else.

We work together not (exclusively) out of our good nature, but because we’re interested in seeing the dismantling of the system of privilege and power which works against so many people and for so few.

Troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan
Stop Global warming: Renewables not uranium & coal
Defend workers' rights: Scrap WorkChoices

US President George W. Bush will be in Sydney in September 2007. He will be joining John Howard and other 21 world leaders at a major meeting of the Asia Pacific forum on Economic Cooperation (APEC).

Their agenda will be to further corporate globalisation as the expense of the livelihoods of workers and small farmers. Wars around the globe, their “anti-terrorism” agenda, terrorism, lifting trade restrictions and climate change will be high on their agenda.

We can be sure that these leaders will not come up with solutions.

While in power, Bush and Howard have presided over a new world disorder. Both have involved their countries in an unpopular occupation in Iraq
which has resulted in the deaths of well over 650,000 Iraqis and thousands of US and British troops, as well as cost over $1 billion per week to maintain. If the US' occupation of Afghanistan is anything to go by, so long as foreign troops stay, Iraq can look forward to years of impoverishment and devastation.

Hyping up the rhetoric of the “war on terror”, Bush and Howard have ignored the far greater threat to humanity posed by climate change. Both have refused to provide support and leadership for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy, preferring to promote the nuclear industry.

While trying to convince us that removing our basic civil liberties and legalising torture are the best ways make us secure, Bush and Howard have systematically removed our basic working rights. They have shifted the balance in favour of employers making it harder for employees to have the basic pay and conditions needed to support themselves and their families.

This world view represented by George Bush and John Howard is as destructive as it is unsustainable.

Another world is not only possible – it is necessary! In September 2007 we are inviting you to join the millions of people around the world standing up for peace, democracy, clean energy and the rights of working people everywhere. Add your organisation’s support for this call to action, and to the demonstration and other activities being planned for this September in Sydney. Email stopbushsyd@gmail.com with your endorsement and/or to make a financial contribution to the event.

Stand up with the Aboriginal community on Saturday 14th July at 10:00am at the Block to demand:

* Stop the genocide, end Indigenous deaths in custody
* Land Rights not mining rights - no mines and no dumps
* Funding for community controlled services not cops and troops

These details come from Jenny Munroe, a local Redfern activist.
