Ceasfire Now! Protest against militarisation

Saturday, 6 July 2024 - 10:00am to 10:30am

On today's show we're looking at the anti military protest movement on this continent with Mercedes Zanker from the Renegade Activists, Tasnim Sammak a Palestinian organiser and Jasper Coen-Hunter from the Blak Peoples Union.  

First up on the show we bring you Mercedes Zanker and Tasnim Sammak speaking at a protest against the deepening militarisation of Australian capitalisation outside the conference 'Mission Critical: the business of AUKUS' held by the American Chamber of Commerce at the Stamford Plaza Hotel in Collins St on Thursday 20 June.

Land Forces is the biggest weapons expo in the southern hemisphere and is coming to Melbourne from 8-14 September.  You may remember our coverage from the Disrupt Land Forces actions when Land Forces was held in Meanjin (Brisbane) across its last two iterations:
