https://www.facebook.com/events/195775987506688/Join the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism for a special community forum to discuss the campaign against Hansonism. We will have speakers discussing the campaign last time, the effect Islamophobia has on Muslims and the various ways and means we can challenge all that Hanson stands for. SPEAKERS: Jack Latimore is a Birpai man and journalist/writer. His work appears in Overland, Guardian Australia and IndigenousX. Jeff Sparrow: Guardian columnist and regular commentator on the Australian far right Inaz Janif: Inaz Janif is an Australian Muslim woman who is of Fijian Indian background and a member of Casey against Racism. She has lived almost her whole life in Australia and therefore can relate with the diversity of viewpoints of both Australian born individuals and newer arrivals. She is a teacher in a multicultural school which has allowed her to see various ways racism and Islamaphobia are impacting particularly to younger generations. She has witnessed the gradual rise of Islamaphobia. One of the reasons Inaz has chosen to speak out about Islamaphobia, is due to witnessing how many younger people are subject to discrimination and exclusion. She wishes to contribute to a more cohesive and inclusive society that not only accepts difference and diversity, but also celebrates it.Omar Merhi, was a senior shop steward for 10 years in the construction industry and is now an organiser with the ETU.Put the night aside for what is bound to be an important discussion. Gold coin donations at the door. -- source link
