Armidale, Australia: Invasion Day Banner Drops

received on 26.01.18

In the early hours of January 26th, 2018, banners were hung around so-called Armidale [city in the Northern Tablelands, New South Wales], with one facing out onto the parklands where Australia Day Festivities would be held later that day, reading “NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE – JAN 26 = INVASION DAY”. This action was taken by non-Indigenous people as a minimal act of solidarity with the ongoing struggles of First Nations peoples.
