Toni (28) is blocking traffic across 3 trainlines into the Port of Newcastle, suspended from a monopole traverse.
This is the 8th action in the last 4 days in the latest #BlockadeAustralia mobilisation.
Last night, Trish (77) and Ella (25) jumped on a coal carriage, bringing all trains to a stop!
Ella shared, “yeah, it’s cold and uncomfortable… but we find hope in direct action. It’s a way to say we are not complicit with what is happening and we won’t be silenced. It’s a direct message.”
“Being here really puts it into perspective – how much is being extracted from the land: stolen land, stolen resources.”
We are railroading towards a future of increased floods, fires, famines, conflicts and mass migration. Acknowledging Australia’s part in facilitating the climate crisis means acknowledging our responsibility to stand in the way of Australia.
Let’s go!
