Friday's protest will not just stand in solidarity with those targetted in the US. We need to speak out against rampant Islamophobia in Australia and the persecution of refugees.

Decades of the so-called 'war on terror' have dehumanised Muslims here. Hanson, Bernardi and Christensen, with their calls for bans on Muslim immigration, opposition to mosques, halal certification etc represent the radicalisation of the dominant Islamophobic politics that both major parties promote.

Muslims communities are already under massive State surveillance. Muslim men have been imprisoned for years for nothing more than thought crimes. 

The militarised Australian borders already stop refugees from seeking asylum.

On Friday we will also be demanding Turnbull end boat turn backs, shut down Manus and Nauru and bring the people who languish in these torture camps to Australia.
