  600m sounds a bit steep for a football team, what’s the scam?

  The anti-war movement has picked up massively where I am (Syd) since Oct 7, which means there are a lot more options for ‘doing something’ than there were even one year ago.

  I was going through some of my photos from the Nakbah protest in 2023 just a few days ago, and it was honestly quite shocking to see how tiny it was compared to even the smaller weekly rallies that have been happening since Oct 7.

  Obviously it’s a lot easier to get involved in activism if you are in a larger city, but off the top of my head there are quite a few organisations like food not bombs, the Palestine advocacy network, the anti-aukus coalition which operate across the country.

  But yeah, I feel you. When you watch the news you can see how blasé we all are about the horrors of war, and our role in proliferating it. I want to get out too.
