THE HARD ONS are being joined by THE ASSASSINATION
COLLECTIVE from Melbourne, THE THAW and CALL THE
MEDIC, CALL THE NURSE in a benefit gig to raise money
for people arrested after the G20 protests.
G20 arrestee benefit gig with:
The Hard Ons
The Assassination Collective (melb)
The Thaw
Call the medic, call the nurse
Date: Thursday 7th February
Cost: $10
Venue: Annandale Hotel
Cnr. Parramatta Rd & Nelson St, Annandale
first band on by 8:30
All proceeds to the G20 arrestee fund.
In November 2006, people took to the streets of
Melbourne to confront the G20, a meeting of the
world’s most powerful finance ministers whose policies
perpetrate suffering and violence in countless
communities around the world every day. Since that
protest, Victorian and Federal police have carried out
a vast operation of surveillance and arrests, raiding
houses at dawn and slapping protestors with ludicrous
charges and repressive bail conditions. This is a
campaign of intimidation and part of an attempt to
criminalise protest; it is an attack on everyone’s
ability to resist war, poverty and oppression.
To defend political protest, people are organising in
solidarity with those arrested and supporting them by
raising money to help with legal costs and other
expenses. For more information see www.afterg20.org.
