From the river (redacted under Queensland government directive), run with us until Palestine is free!
26 people have been arrested in QLD so far publicly supporting Palestine, charged under Crisafulli’s prohibited expressions laws. We’ve seen state censorship of public artworks and police raids on the homes of citizens and artists calling out the ongoing genocide in Gaza. But the movement for Palestinian liberation is unwavering. Now more than ever is the time to keep showing up for Palestine!
Justice for Palestine Magandjin are fundraising to challenge these prohibited expressions laws in the High Court, and they need all the financial support we can muster. So we’re breaking out the activewear for a good ol’ fashion fun run!
Brisbane/Magandjin: 10am, Saturday 6 June, Reddacliff Place, Brisbane
Sydney/Gadi: 11am, Saturday 6 June, Barton Park, Arncliffe
Perth/Boorloo: 9am, Saturday 6 June, Fremantle Rainbows, Fremantle
Naarm/Melbourne, 10am, Saturday 6 June, Birrarung Marr, Melbourne
How does it work?
Form a team or run solo, the main goal is getting the word out and raising dollars for the Justice for Palestine legal fund. Hit the ‘sign up as a fundraiser’ button below, and you can start your team! The fundraiser will be open until the end of June.
Across the country, we will run (or walk, stroll or roll) from a river to a sea. There will be catwalks and prizes. We’ll have t-shirts available to purchase on the day so bring cash if you love merch!
We welcome everyone from all around so called Australia to join us and set up their own runs (from one body of water to another).
What are we wearing?
So glad you asked! We’re channeling the power walking hornbags Kath Day-Knight and Kel Knight from Kath & Kim. Think parachute pants, short shorts, long socks, sweat bands, tiny dumbells in hand. Now hold onto that thought, and put it all on a watermelon.
Not that into running?
Power walk, leisurely stroll, or joyfully roll with us. Every body is welcome.
We want to acknowledge and pay our respects to the First Nations peoples whose lands this event will take place on, and whose sovereignty was never ceded. We acknowledge that the ongoing occupation and genocide here on this continent is inextricably linked to the continued occupation and genocide in Palestine. Until all the lands occupied by colonial forces are returned to their rightful sovereign peoples, there can be no justice and no peace.Read more
