January 26 is 'Australia Day', AKA 'Invasion Day' or 'Survival Day'.

There will be protest rallies around the country.

2024 INVASION DAY RALLY - MELBOURNE — Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung Lands

Invasion Day Rally Melbourne

10AM Friday 26 January 2024

Parliament House Victoria.

We continue to call for treaty, truth and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The 26th January, Australia Day is not a day to celebrate. It is an annual reminder of invasion, occupation, genocide and the ongoing impacts of colonisation that continues to destroy our lives, our lands and our waters. As the oldest living culture in the world, it is our right and our responsibility as First Nations people to protect our country, culture and our people. That is why we meet this day with protest and mourning, as one of the longest standing protests in the world.

A Dawn Service will be held at 5am at Kings Domain Resting Place, Linlithgow Avenue. This will be followed by the Invasion Day Rally where we will be meeting at 10am at the Victorian Parliament on Spring St and marching to Flinders St Station.

In recent months, distinct lines have been drawn both nationally and globally, marking those who endorse settler colonialism and those uniting to resist the enduring colonial forces that we strive to counteract. The repercussions of settler colonialism have been starkly illustrated in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians by Israel, supported by all other settler colonial states, including Australia.

In the wake of the unsuccessful 'Voice' campaign, the imperative to ensure the resonance of Indigenous Rights campaigns across the nation has become increasingly apparent. The concluded 'Voice' campaign exposed our community to reprehensible levels of vitriol from racists, sparking discussions about our humanity. This unsettling experience highlighted the perils of misinformation and disinformation during the referendum, aimed at demonising the Indigenous struggle. In response to these challenges, we are taking to the streets to demand treaty, truth, and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

On this Invasion Day, as on every such occasion, we stand united for our families, communities, and all, asserting that all Black Lives Matter.

The Australia colony is a racist nation: there is no other conclusion from the referendum. We know and live this every day. Reconciliation is dead.

We want our land back now!

Join us in our fight to Abolish Australia Day.

We demand:

Treaty/Treaties

Land back and land rights - stop selling land promised to us

End Aboriginal deaths in custody

Climate justice

End the theft of Black children and return all Black children to their families and kin

Abolish police and prisons

Reparations

The Australian government stop arming Israel

We call on everyone to respect our demands and take action with us. We also remind attendees that COVID19 is still impacting our communities and we encourage all attendees to wear a mask, bring hand sanitiser and take all necessary precautions to keep each other safe.

Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance will be available for media interviews in the lead up to the rally. Please email warcollectivevic@protonmail.com for interviews.

#OTD in Irish History | 26 January:

1316 – At the battle of Ardscull, Co Kildare, Edward de Bruce defeats the army of Justiciar Edmund Butler. The Scottish dead are buried in the graveyard attached to the Dominican Priory in Athy which occupies the area on the east bank of the River Barrow. Among those buried are two Scottish chiefs, Lord Fergus Andressan and Lord Walter de Morrey. 1699 – The second session of William III’s second…

जिनके पैर समुद्र द्वारा धोए जाते हैं और जो हिमालय से सुशोभित हैं, वह, जो अनगिनत ब्रह्मऋषियों और राजऋषियों से भरा है।

ऐसी मेरी भारत माता को अभिवन्दन।

गणतंत्र दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ! 🇮🇳

Whose feet are washed by the ocean and who is adorned by the Himalayas, He who is full of innumerable Brahmarishis and Rajrishis. Such greetings to my mother India. Happy Republic Day!

26 January 1965

On this day, George Martin broke his foot. This is especially tragic as it was day two of a two week skiing holiday in the Swiss Alps, rather than sensibly when he had nothing better going on. 

[The above photo is from the Get Back sessions, and not the skiing trip, but he looks sad and could have been thinking about that time he had to listen to John Lennon play songs about his extramarital affairs instead of skiing. In addition, he looks like a man who desesrves to be skiing, instead of whatever is going on in front of him now.]

THE COLONY WILL FALL.

CRYM has received this video from an anonymous source, with the following message.

This morning in Naarm, the Captain Cook statue was toppled and the Queen Victoria statue covered in blood.

Captain Cook was a murderer for British imperialism, Queen Victoria a director, and overseer of genocide. The community of Naarm refuses monuments that glorify murder, occupation, and the ongoing genocide of First Nations people.

Colonialism is imperialism is capitalism is theft is disposession is genocide: destroy this in every manifestation. Colonialism will never be celebrated, only toppled. Empires will fall and justice will prevail.

Be part of a future born from the truth of our past.

What could be possible?

This took place a day before Invasion Day, January 26. Listen up, act up, disrupt.
