We got here quicker than I hoped or anticipated because not enough people stood up to #ProtectProtest In particular those with power, leverage, resources People need to get a damn grip on the direction we’re going

Hotelier Mwabili Mwagodi passed by our offices to brief us on his recent arrest and ongoing investigations. We will continue to monitor his case to ensure his right to political expression is not undermined. #ProtectProtest

Shame on the Australian government for conflating anti-zionism with anti-semitism. Listen to this daughter of holocaust survivors. Peaceful protestors calling on the Govt to do everything it could to stop the killing of civilians in Gaza did not cause Bondi. #protectprotest

Minns is a yes man. Who is paying his campaign costs? Minns was an unknown when elected premier. A hack who does what he's told by his minders. Who are his minders? Who is in his fundraising team? #DefendDissent #ProtectProtest

Anti-protest laws are a bad bet. So are the politicians, regardless of party, who advocate or go along with them. Consider your vote carefully. #ProtectProtest #auspol #democracy #FreedomOfSpeech #PoliticalCommunication

Tom obviously doesn’t like democracy. Only a fascist or authoritarian speaks nonsense like that. Protest is a fundamental democratic right. #ProtectProtest #DefendDissent #ACAB

🛑 STOP THE CRIME AND POLICING BILL It will further criminalise poverty, and make it harder for people to protest It’s back in Parliament in September Share this video to let people know what’s at stake #ProtectProtest #PovertyIsNotACrime

Collective protesting isn’t just about being seen. Solidarity turns pain into power & hope into action. Showing up in protest is how we pass the torch of resistance to the next generation. And that is what keeps the fires of hope burning. #protectprotest #protesting #protest

We are proud so many Australians continue to stand up for their right to protest. ‘In Defence of Dissent’ maps the repression of protest rights over the past 5yrs & how communities can work together to #ProtectProtest australiandemocracy.org.au/i…

Police do not keep us safe. Police turn up and seriously brutalise people...again and again. VicPol and NSWpol both #ProtectProtest #DefendDissent Police OUT of protest!

The bullying tactics are excessive with purpose, by they won’t work. Protests will continue. #PoliceBrutality #ProtectProtest #auspol Former Greens candidate Hannah Thomas hospitalised after arrest at pro-Palestinian Sydney protest abc.net.au/news/2025-06-27/f…

We name this violence for what it is: a tool of oppression. We stand in solidarity with survivors, frontline defenders, and all those who continue to organize in the face of this brutality. We demand accountability, justice, and safety — not just for protestors, but for all those whose resistance has made them a target to the SGBV Survivors and FEMICIDE Victims! Our Bodies are NOT Battlegrounds! Our bodies are not sites of state control! Our defiance is not consent! And we will not be silenced! #Maandamano #June25th #ProtectProtest #EndFemicideKE #endpolicebrutalityke

CONDEMNATION ON WEAPONISING OF SEXUAL AND GENDER BASED VIOLENCE AGAINST PROTESTORS DURING JUNE 25TH 2025 MAANDAMANO Throught the day, we have learnt and noted multiple reports and cases from several organizations, social media and through our organising groups on sexual assault cases. We unequivocally condemn the use of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) as a weapon against protestors. Around the world, state and security forces have used SGBV to suppress dissent, instill fear, and punish those who dare to demand justice. This violence is not incidental. It is strategic. SGBV has been deployed deliberately to target women, queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming individuals whose very presence in protest spaces challenges systems of power. It is used to violate, humiliate, and break the will of those who resist — treating OUR bodies as battlegrounds in the struggle for control. This is not just about misconduct or isolated abuse. It is about power. It is about the weaponization of gendered violence to crush movements, to intimidate the people, and to reinforce patriarchal and authoritarian dominance. #Maandamano #June25th #ProtectProtest #EndFemicideKE #endpolicebrutalityke

MEDIA CENSORSHIP & INTERNET SHUTDOWN This is a deliberate silencing tactic!It is NOT just a technological issue — it is a form of violence and control. When governments cut off access during protests, they target THE TOOLS used to organize, document abuse, offer visibility and stay safe. Censoring Media and shutting down internet ensures the only space where voices are amplified,solidarity made visible and resistance seen is inaccesible, erasing presence and attempts to make defiance invisible. #ProtectProtest #Maandamano #WednesdayIsWednesday

Tomorrow, June 25, 2025, citizens across Kenya will gather for peaceful protests to honor the memory of those who were brutally murdered by police forces on June 25/26th 2024. These demonstrations are a solemn remembrance and a firm demand for justice, accountability, and an end to police brutality. As you exercise Kenya's constitutional right to assemble, demonstrate, please observe these Do's and DONT's for your safety and.. #Maandamano #TotalShutdownKe #ProtectProtest #maandamano #endpolicebrutalityke

If @POTUS et al can get away with this, none of us are safe. And make no mistake...the federal Gestapo is watching. #FreeHuerta #ProtectProtest #StopTheGestapo

Clear evidence of how police use these weapons indiscriminately around the world. KIP (Kinetic Impact Projectile) weapons need to be banned in Victoria. @withMEAA @SonyaKilkenny #vicpolwatch #protectprotest
