The picture is via Jill of Feministe, and her post title is a cracker: But Abraham Lincoln was a Republican! That’s good enough, right?

There are rallies around Australia today (and internationally) for a National Day of Action For Aboriginal Justice to mark the end of NAIDOC Week. Being the anniversary of Bastille Day won’t hurt the symbolic significance either. I only found this out from New Zealand blogger Maia, and the Sydney march starts with a gathering at The Block in Redfern in half an hour!
Stand up with the Aboriginal community on Saturday 14th July at 10:00am at the Block to demand:
* Stop the genocide, end Indigenous deaths in custody
* Land Rights not mining rights – no mines and no dumps
* Funding for community controlled services not cops and troopsRally at 10:00am at the Block (next to Redfern Station) for the march
I’m too late to get to the rallying point, and I can’t find any information about the march route. Bugger.

😦 I didn’t know either. I know I was maybe away when it was being circulated, but clearly my networks need some work! Damn!
