Description

On Friday the 30th of May at 5:00pm, we invite you and everyone who cares about Melbourne's unique culture and nightlife to put on a WHITE T-SHIRT & converge on Parliament House steps.

We are putting forward an educated attack on the State government in the form of a registered protest.
This means that we are working with the Victorian Police to ensure safety and maximum exposure.

We will voice your opinions and thoughts. If you have any Ideas, comments or arguments on the matter please put them in the wall. We read every comment and we will use them as ammunition against the proposed curfew.

This is a formal, non-violent, drug and alcohol free protest: violence, vandalism, and stupidity will not be tolerated!
Any negative press will discredit our protest and will hurt the very cause we are fighting for.

Bring: A white T-Shirt, signs, Blanket, Umbrella (if raining) noise makers (drums, maracas etc) and your Melbourne spirit.

Do not bring: alcohol, drugs, idiotic behaviour, violence or weapons of any sort.
This will result in you being removed from the protest by the Victorian Police, and we will fully support them in doing this.
