Counter rallies countrywide are being held on October 19th. Share the word. Bring as many friends as you can. Numbers are our strength.

Journalist Tom Tanuki gives an outline of the fallout following the "March for Australia" in August, reiterates that the protest is primarily organized by self-professed neo-Nazis and white nationalists, discusses a couple of the state organizers, and notes that the NSN are falsely claiming they won't be attending this one, which in reality simply means they won't be in uniform, just like last rally when they claimed they would come in uniform and most members were privately instructed instead to come in plain clothes.

Here's Tom's reupload of their copyright-striken video summarising the NSNs tactics, including having members as official marshals and having members work as plainclothes confederates to feign regular support, as well as highlighting some of the resistance to the NSN by duped M4A speakers and attendees, and by antifascists.

Oath. That Nazi press announcement says they're worried this second rally won't get enough support. Obviously they're going to show up anyway, just as cowards hiding in the crowd. But it's a clear signal to us: they believe these racist rallies are not in a strong position. The NSN's own crowd manipulation, open violence and frustration split the support for their rally and now we have a chance to come out in numbers and push them further into hiding.
