A rally organiser, Ms Alison Thorne says `the campaign against the Nazi shop has achieved considerable success. National Action is now much less visible in Fawkner and the leadership of the organisation has returned to Adelaide. Our aim is to stop National Action from putting down roots in Melbourne and building an active Nazi movement. We are working to send National Action packing through mass, sustained community opposition like we did in Brunswick in 1994.' Protesters will assemble at 1 pm at the C.B. Smith Reserve, Jukes Road Fawkner for a 1.15 pm rally. Speakers at the rally will include representatives from the Disability Liberation Front, Queer Action, Chilean Popular and Indigenous Work, Freedom Socialist Party and a Public Transport unionist. Due to the government's provocative and unnecessary closure of rail lines, Campaign Against the Nazis will be running a bus to Fawkner and a shuttle between the North Coburg Tram terminus and the rally. CAN has chosen to use a Met Bus as a symbol of solidarity with the public transport workers. The bus will pick up protesters at noon from outside Storey Hall, RMIT in the City, at 12.15 from outside Brunswick Town Hall in Sydney Road, at 12.25 from the bus stop at the corner of Sydney Road and Bell Street Coburg and at 12.35 from the North Coburg Tram Terminus. A shuttle from the tram terminus will then run from 12.35 - 1.30 and then back again at the end of the rally. Fawkner residents are welcome to use the CAN shuttle bus. What is Campaign Against the Nazis? Campaign Against the Nazis is a broad united front coalition of groups and individuals united in our opposition to neo-Nazism and fascism. We are a direct action organisation. We are in favour of large and disciplined counter demonstrations against neo-Nazis and fascists whenever and wherever they meet. We believe in the necessity for public education about the fascist threat. We believe that all victims of fascist violence have a right to defend themselves.
