@slamup @RandaAFattah Congratulations Maxine!

[Van T Rudd @van_nishing]

Solidarity to the striking staff and supporting students at University of Melbourne, starting today and going for 5 days!

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

The turnout at today's rally of University of Melbourne staff (and supportive students) - on day one of their five day strike - was HUGE. Checkout this video of just the first half of the march moving off. Certainly giving uni management something to think about! 🙌✊🚩

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

'Strike, occupy, shut it down - Melbourne is a union town!' Solidarity with staff at the University of Melbourne gathering for a rally on campus now on the first day of their five day strike. Give 'em hell comrades! ✊

[Van T Rudd @van_nishing]

Strike time! The social power WA gas supply workers have rn is incredibly powerful. Easily measured by the heightened fears of the Australian Business Council as to industry wide loss of profits if workers stopped working - even for a second.

[Van T Rudd @van_nishing]

It's true. Has to start somewhere

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

Great to see students out protesting for 'welfare not warfare' as part of a national day of action today! Numbers may be small now, but as with the anti-Vietnam war movement in the 60s and 70s, it always starts with a minority prepared to stand-up and start the fight!

[Van T Rudd @van_nishing]

That cardboard placard!

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

❤️ this placard from student anti-war protest yesterday. Definitely on team orcas!

[Van T Rudd @van_nishing]

Great turnout yesterday in Sunshine by @campaignarf and supporters against neo-Nazi event.

[Reid Butler @reid_butler9]

A big turnout of Victorians marching against a planned neo-Nazi gathering in Sunshine West. They’re heading to the gym where the meeting is being held. @9NewsMelb

Workers in my local council fighting for a half-decent wage deal. ✊

[Van T Rudd @van_nishing]

Such simple gestures can mean so much in the battle between labour and capital. The boss: cuts up shit to divide us all. The unionised workers put it all back together cos well unity is strength

[sam wallman @wallmansam]

a boss at the port in Whyalla took down this poster from the break room and cut it up, so the MUA members sticky taped it back together and stuck it up again hahaha 🥲 @MaritimeUnionAU

[Grace @allofus_or_none]

Help anti-war students attend a student union conference - their goal is to build opposition to AUKUS within the student unions. Buy a shirt, mug or tote from their fundraiser and you'll help cover costs + get a unique shirt designed by a local artist.

An attack on free speech. Long time refugee activist @aranmylvaganam has been arrest by Victoria Police while protesting at an ALP Office for refugee rights.

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

The arrest of VS member & leading refugee activist @aranmylvaganam last night at ALP offices is a serious attack on free speech

Despite election promises, Labor has betrayed refugees, continuing the cruel "border protection" system & leaving more than 12,000 with no visa pathway

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

Victorian Socialists extends its solidarity to the thousands of members of the NTEU in Victoria who are striking today. ✊✊✊

[Van T Rudd @van_nishing]

A very big strike ☺️

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

LEST WE FORGET:
The masses of workers who died needlessly in wars fought for the interests of the rich.
That behind the lofty phrases of the warmongers lies the sordid reality of imperial ambition - of wars fought for power and profit at the cost of millions of lives. 1/2

[Van T Rudd @van_nishing]

80,000 Railway workers 🚆

This Christmas, workers across different sectors are fighting back not just for better pay and conditions but for better public services.

RT if you're with them 👊

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

'This Time, Vote Socialist' we said – and more than 50,000 people have done exactly that.

Though we've (just) missed out on a seat this time, we’re not sooking – we’re enormously proud of our campaign, and we hope all our members and supporters are too. 🧵

[Liz Walsh @lizwalshVS]

In the "education state", students from Sunshine North study in dilapidated buildings, while millions in public $ is gifted to private schools. Students shouldn't have to plead for decent classrooms. @vic_socialists will fight for working class communities https://t.co/8TSd1ouwec
