March in March

[just_me_karen]

Who is marching in March? I will be.

"March in March Australia 2014 will be three days of peaceful assemblies, non-partisan citizens' marches and rallies at Federal Parliament and around Australia to protest against government decisions that are against the common good of our nation"

There's just so much to protest about, but I think the thing that riles me the most is our governments dehumanising cruelty to refugees.

Or maybe the 800 million payment to Murdoch

Or the nepotism.

Or plain incompetency.

Anyway, I need ideas for my placard. Can anyone help?

I'll have to travel hundreds of kilometres to get to my nearest march, so I want to make it worthwhile.

No idea, we got there early and there was practically nobody there, we went and had a beer and came back and it was jam packed. It was a real mix of people too, it wasn't dominated by any particular group, lots of elderly, lots of families, some that were still living in the 60's with marracas lol, it was very peaceful too.

Well done, guys. Glad to see you all made it there and back in one piece.

And well done to the organizers, It seems like all the marches were very peaceful and mostly good humoured.
