The news stands around the city looked a little bare this morning.
💩 #BullshitPatrol strikes again: last night, a group of people used barrels to blockade News Corp Australia's printing press and stop the delivery of the Courier Mail and other newspapers out into the city.
Why?
...Because most people on this planet get their daily news from one corporation owned by a billionaire climate-change-denier.
News Corp prints lies, denies the science, and is part of a dirty alliance with both sides of our government and the fossil fuel corporations to delay climate action and endanger all of our lives for profit.
And the people call bullshit.
One of the people locked on to a barrel, Clancy, an 18-year-old science and law student, said: "The science is clear. We know the problem. And we've got the solutions. The politicians just aren't doing anything, and part of that is because News Corp's lies give them political cover. That's why I'm taking a stand here."
Jarrah, 22, a psychology student who also locked on to a barrel, said: "We're here to tell the truth because the media aren't doing it. We need to rapidly and justly decarbonise this planet, and we need to do it now. If we don't, we face social collapse and mass starvation in the very near future."
Justice, a 25-year-old communications manager and the third person who locked on, said: "Polite protests aren't doing anything—the billionaires and the government don't care. Non-violent direct action like this and mass civil disobedience in the streets are the only ways to force action. If we want a future, we have to stand up and fight for it. Nobody else is going to do it for us."
This action took place on the stolen lands of the Jagera, Turrbal, Yuggera and Yugarabul peoples of this region, whose sovereignty was never ceded.
We stand with all First Nations peoples in their fight against injustice, much of which is perpetuated by organisations like News Corp.
For the people who want a future, News Corp is the bad news.
The good news?
If we all #RiseUp, we can win this fight for our lives.
🌏 A wave of non-violent rebellion is about to roll across the globe.
🌊 The wave hits our city on May 5.
