DAY 5: THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED, NOT BROKEN

On our 5th consecutive day of action blocking the Port of Newcastle, Grace hangs from a bipod over a rail bridge with a banner that reads, “the system is rigged, not broken.”

Grace is right… environmental disasters, climate change, pollution and inequality are not mistakes – they are symptoms of a system built to exploit, to benefit those in power over the many.

The system is working just as intended. Politicians, corporations and the rich profit from the exploitation of people and planet because it’s in their job description.

She says, “I don’t think I’d be able to look at myself, if I wasn’t doing something.”

If you agree, join the resistance!
