[Indigsol] Stop Racism towards Aboriginals in Australia

[Ben Powless]

ok - ill work on the media release for now then - matt mb can you work on a
poster or something like that then? i would just say this was organized by
members of the aboriginal community, with the support of indigsol, etc, and
anyone else we can get to support. can anyone here contact the union people
just to let them know? how about that guy from KAIROS? can we get a
megaphone from CUSA? or any other sound system? can we have stuff printed at
the OPIRG office?
