We won’t tolerate Neo-Nazi hate

A neo-Nazi concert has been announced in Melbourne featuring a band that sings about killing immigrants.¹ This concert comes just months after an Australian white supremacist gunned down a 3 year old child and 50 other people in Christchurch mosques.²

It's clear that violent white supremacy feels increasingly comfortable to show its face in our cities. The concert organisers have been banned in several countries, but have so far been free to gather and organise in Australia.³

We need to make clear to our Governments that this is unacceptable.

Can you sign this petition to demand Government shut down the concert?

As prominent Jewish community leaders have said, if this concert goes ahead "...it will pose a real risk to the safety of all Victorians. Imagine what would happen if one or more people returning from this concert run into a visibly identifiable Jewish or Muslim individual, or anyone else who they deem undesirable?"

We need to demonstrate that our community has no tolerance for hate, and urge our Governments to take white supremacy seriously. If enough of us speak up right now, both the Federal and Victorian Governments will have to act to shut down this concert.

Can you sign the petition and make sure neo-Nazis have no place to spread hate in our community?
