Stop the Neo-Nazi Violence

They tore down flags, desecrated an ancestral fire, and beat women attending a peaceful ceremony at Camp Sovereignty – a sacred site and burial ground for Aboriginal communities in Naarm (Melbourne) in Australia.

Eyewitnesses say the police knew the attack was coming but failed to act. When officers finally arrived, they drew pepper spracy on the victims – and despite racial slurs and organised neo-Nazi violence, authorities haven’t treated this as a hate crime.

This is racism, plain and simple- and Aboriginal leaders are demanding justice. Let’s stand with Aboriginal communities today against this attack, and push Australia’s new police chief to investigate this as a hate crime, to prevent more racist violence.
