Sonia caught up with Scott Jordan, Bob Brown Foundation about protest outside MMG every Thursday

Friday 21st June, Disrupt Land Forces had its first public meeting (at Black Spark, Northcote) to plan actions in protest of 'Land Forces', a large weapons fair & conference which this year will be held on September 11-13 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Ongoing actions in previous host-city Meanjin (Brisbane) forced the conference to relocate, and Disrupt Land Forces hope this year for the same - if not greater - level of disruption of harms dealers and their investors, both at the conference and in the week leading up to it. Before the planning meeting various frontline community members and activists spoke of their experiences at the hands of the global military industrial complex, and the importance of international solidarity against imperialist structures.
