 Email Moz

Protests against the Forbes Meeting in the Sydney Opera House. 30A organising. I went along on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, so that's what I have photos of. There was some interesting diversity - from Christians Against Greed (more)to the Maritime Union of Australia, plus the Refugee Action Coalition, various student groups and the multitudinous anarchists.
