[Indigsol] Stop Racism towards Aboriginals in Australia

[mattm-b at resist.ca]

hi ben,

i can do some of those things.

i'd volunteer to make a poster and to invite groups.  to invite the groups
i'd want to have an e-mail to send, or some more info before i called
them.

i have written a press release and e-mail callout before, but since i
don't know much about what is going on, i wouldn't be too comfortable
taking this on.

for the poster i would need to know the name of the group organizing it
(if there is one) or which organizations it is in solidarity with/the name
of the protests in australia and new zealand.

let me know.

sol,
matt

pure and simple anarchism:

"an unhyphenated form of anarchism, that is, a doctrine without any
qualifying labels such as communist, collectivist, mutualist, or
individualist. For others, ... [it] was simply understood as an attitude
that [enjoyed] the coexistence of different anarchist schools."
