Comment on NSW police attempt to block pro-Palestine rally on 7 October an ‘attack on fundamental democratic rights’, protesters say

  Where do you get that info? I’m trying to find but searching online just gives me zionist news like abc and so on.

  Most Australian Palestine activist groups seem to use Instagram as their main channel for announcements.

  Here’s the Instagram account for Palestine Action Group Sydney which has details for their upcoming events: www.instagram.com/palestineactiongroup/

  Many events are aggregated on the APAN (Australian Palestine Advocacy Network) website, but many are also left off it: apan.org.au/events

  The APAN site also has a list of local groups, but again I’d caution that it’s not a complete list: apan.org.au/local-groups/

  I imagine mods don’t allow support for protests, even though I thought lemmy would be the ideal place to post about this.

  I don’t think this is true of the mods on this instance, but they might not want it in certain communities. Probably the individual city comms (e.g. !sydney ) are the best place for posting about upcoming rallies, or maybe !australianpolitics ? So long as it’s not an overwhelming amount of posts that’s drowning out everything else I wouldn’t expect the mods to have a problem with it.

  I thought of making a topic about it but i fear i might just get banned, since my previous post against military wasn’t exactly well received.

  People responded strongly in the comments there, but from what I’ve seen I doubt the mods/admins thought you were breaking any rules or doing anything bannable.

    I wish I could do something about people using facebook/instagram… What I can see is very limited. But thanks a lot! From the thumbnails I got the location. I will try to go. The APAN website seems to have better info. I saw that website before but got confused. There are many websites and it’s hard to tell what’s more “official”.

    Regarding posting here, I don’t have the energy for that. I learned a lot from the last post, but it’s very exhausting when I have a polemic opinion and I get a bunch of people against me. And like a guy said there, I may just be the problem. Either way with the links you gave me I now know where to look. So thanks again!

      No worries!

      Also, the location for this Sunday’s rally has changed (negotiated with police this afternoon). It will now be at Hyde Park (still 1pm Sunday).

  I mod this community as well as the main Australia one and the Australian politics ones on here. There’s nothing in the rules that say you can’t promote protests here and so long as they are peaceful protests I don’t really see a problem. Just so long as all discussion is civil and respectful.

    Thanks for the info. Though what I wanted to post was asking about the protests, which zero_gravitas answered.
