We really are in the belly of the beast. I attended an action tonight because a hotel refused to properly house asylum seeker. People were not housed since 8am in the morning - left out in the cold with no food or water - it was until we organised collectively people were housed.

The anti-raids network is a peoples' movement. We will continue to resist. We will continue to organise and protect our community against racist cops and immigration officers.
Last night when we tried to resist an immigration raid the cops turned against us, brutally manhandling us. This is NOT okay.
We will not stand for cops or border officers using aggression to intimidate us. We will continue to stand up for our community.
