Campaign Against Racism And Fascism

The Campaign against Racism and Fascism would like to welcome all activists opposed to this global tide of racism, bigotry, homophobia and other forms of oppression to a serious discussion of what we are facing and what we can do in the here and now to stop it in its tracks.

Issues to be discussed include; are we facing a populist Right-wing or fascist threat, what is the difference, do we need a different approach to each of these movements, what can we do to resist and how do we go about organising?

Speakers include: • Maria Panagioutudu – an activist involved in the grassroots struggle against the fascist Golden Dawn party in Greece. • Dr Jordy Silverstein – from the Australian Jewish Democratic Society. and the book is Anxious Histories: Narrating the Holocaust in Jewish Communities at the Beginning of the Twenty-First Century. • Chris Di Pasquale - LGBTI Officer for the National Union of Students and student activist. • Piere Morro – member of Campaign against Racism and Fascism.

One Nation Senators Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts are slated to "speak to, and take questions from, the Jewish community" in Caulfield on December 4. Pauline Hanson and One Nation have been at the forefront of promoting Islamophobia. Malcom Roberts' antisemitic conspiracy theories, are too far out there even for Andrew Bolt. In the late nineties, the Jewish community was heavily involved in the fight against Pauline Hanson and her racism. We defeated her then and we can do it again. This is a great opportunity to come together as a community and assert Jewish social justice ethics in a time of great uncertainty and heightened racism. Multicultural street party against Hanson! Defend multiculturalism! Fight racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism! We welcome all community support.

Tomorrow in Melbourne. You have to be in it to win it.

Predictably, fascists in Melbourne plan to celebrate Trump's victory. Anti-racists are going to rain on their parade.
