Free Palestine Rally - Vancouver
Draw The Line - Rally
Photographs from last Saturday’s ‘Draw The Line’ rally on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh people (also known as Vancouver).
Draw The Line was a nation-wide series of rallies held on September 20th, 2025 across so-called ‘Canada’ to protest against colonialism, racism, the lack of action on environmental destruction and climate change, corporate greed and neo-liberal capitalism. A large contingent of pro-Palestinian marchers also raised their voices against the war on Gaza.
The rally began at the Vancouver Public Library and was kicked off by Musqueam man, Shane Point and other speakers representing labour unions, Indigenous groups and migrants. Protesters then marched to the Science Museum, where more speeches were given, including by representatives of ‘Butterflies in Spirit’, an advocacy and dance group who fight for justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women across Turtle Island and beyond.
Around 10,000 people attended the rally. Similar rallies were also held in Otawa, Toronto and elsewhere.

Solidarity with the 'Sumud Flotilla' Gathering at Bondi Beach
Yesterday, on Father’s Day, hundreds of people met at Bondi Beach to participate in a solidarity gathering for the Sumud Flotilla, a fleet of more than 50 ships which is sailing from Spain in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza and deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid to the war stricken strip. Banners and small origami boats were brought to Bondi to make a pathway down to the water’s edge, where a ‘paddle out’ by surfers was launched. The gathering was organised by Jews Against The Occupation ‘48.
As the event commenced, a large group of Pro-Israeli and Zionist counter-protesters assembled on the esplanade, to hurl racist abuse and mock the pro-Palestinian crowd. A brief scuffle ensured but was quickly broken up by police The counter-protest quickly grew in number, swelling to around 1,000 people.
After a couple of hours, the solidarity gathering had to be escorted from the beach by police because of concerns for their safety.
The Sumud Flotilla is currently docked in Tunisia and is expected to set sail towards Gaza in coming days.

March For Humanity
Last Sunday, despite objections from the NSW Premier, Chris Minns and police, a sea of humanity swept across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, on Gadigal and Cammeraygal Lands, Sydney, Australia, demonstrating resounding support for Palestine, as death and starvation continues to spread across Gaza.
Estimates were that between 100,000 and 500,000 attended the historic rally, although experts settled on around 300,000. It was one of the largest - if not the largest - protest marches in Australia’s history. The massive crowd looked like a true reflection of the city’s residents - one that is rarely portrayed - people from all walks of life, ages and backgrounds, from all over Sydney, united in the cause to demand a halt to the siege of Gaza.
Despite driving rain, the mood was determined, but also overwhelming joyous, as the marchers, buoyed by the numbers, soon understood the historic nature of the momentous occasion. At one point, police blocked the northern side of the bridge and turned the crowd around - citing safety concerns, forcing people to march back over to the southern side. For some this meant a second rare opportunity to traverse the harbour from above, to stop and dance in the middle of the bridge in a celebration of resistance against a government that said, ‘no’.
The March of Humanity was organised by the Palestine Action Group, Sydney.

Converge On Canberra - Day 3
Photographs from Tuesday, the final day of the three-day ‘Converge on Canberra’ mass protests against Israel’s siege of Gaza.
After two days of disruptive action across Canberra, on Ngunnawal Land, around 1,000 people gathered in front of Parliament House, on the opening day of the Parliamentary term, to listen to speeches from a range of Palestinian, Aboriginal and Jewish speakers. Independent senator, Fatima Payman and Greens senator, Mehreen Faruqi, also spoke.
A woman symbolically burned her Israeli passport in support of Gazans.
Despite Federal police cordoning off the rally to an isolated precinct, protesters broke police lines to storm the front of Parliament House. One was arrested outside, while 17 others were detained after holding a protest inside the Parliament House cafe.
As a result of the disruption, Parliament had to cancel its 19-cannon salute that usually marks the first day of the Parliamentary term. It was a powerful symbolic action, where the guns were literally silenced.

Converge On Canberra
On Sunday, thousands of people from around the country descended on Canberra, Ngunnawal Land, to protest against the war on Gaza in what was dubbed ‘Converge on Canberra’. The mass gathering will last over 3 days until the official opening of the new Parliamentary term on Tuesday.
People travelled from Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and as far away as Western Australia. Amongst the protesters included several contingents of First Nations people and anti-Zionist and anti-war Jews.
Speeches were made outside Parliament House before the rally marched to the embassies of the United States of America and Israel, where it was met by a handful of pro-Israeli and Zionist counter-protesters.
The march then circled back to Parliament House, where the day was concluded with a evening vigil.

Memorial Assembly And March For Victims of Deaths In Police Custody
Today, a small but passionate group turned up to Sydney Town Hall, Gadigal Land, to hold a memorial for those who have been killed by police in custody during welfare checks.
Family and friends of those who have been killed called for alternative approaches to mental health incidents, demanding that health professionals conduct such checks, rather than police. Some speakers also called for wide-ranging police reforms, including the banning of police guns and community policing approaches.
Today’s memorial was held just days after Waterloo public housing resident, Colin Burling, was killed during an apparent welfare check by police and two years after Jesse Deacon was killed in similar circumstances.
