Demonstrate In Solidarity This January 26th
January 26 marks the colonisation of Australia and the ongoing survival of the oldest existing culture in the world.
A day reminding First Nation people about the grief, pain and heartache that has been inflicted upon them for generations. Not the day to celebrate. Monster Children stands alongside our First Nation brothers and sisters this Friday in advocating for Indigenous rights, including land rights, self-determination, and recognition of traditional ownership as we do every day and we encourage you to do the same. Here is a list of rallies around the country. See you there.
