Grab your mob, clapsticks, water, snacks and sunscreen and meet us on the steps of Parliament for a 10am sharp Invasion Day rally - WARs 10th year of organising Invasion Day rallies here in Naarm.

Join us to walk from the steps of Parliament House down Bourke along Swanston St to Fed Square.

The January 26, 1938, Day of Mourning silent protest, held 87 years ago, stands as one of the earliest organised acts of Indigenous resistance. This has never been a date to celebrate. The fight against settler colonialism, escalating race/ class divisions, climate injustice, and inaction are being felt here and across the globe and demand our collective efforts.

Allies, now is the time to show up, if you haven’t already.

Be sunsmart, it’s going to be warm, and COVID-safe by wearing a mask and staying home if you’re unwell. Auslan interpreter available for accessibility.
