INVASION DAY RALLY + MARCH 2026 ‼️
While the colony rallies behind glossy “March for Australia” displays and politicians keep insisting we’re all moving forward together, our communities are watching a very different story unfold in NSW. One where governments expand police powers that hit our young people first, child removals keep rising despite endless promises of change, and decisions about Country are made without the people who hold the oldest authority here. It’s been a year where national pride is being marketed louder than ever, yet the truth of ongoing harm, dispossession, and state violence is pushed further out of sight.
In 2025 in New South Wales alone, 12 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died in custody so far, the highest number on record for any year. In NSW, Aboriginal children make up around 40% of all kids in “care”, despite being a tiny fraction of the child population.
And all of this is happening as the world watches multiple genocides unfold overseas, with Australia refusing to take a meaningful stance beyond carefully managed statements and political distance. The Albanese and Minns governments sit on their hands, offering sympathy without action, while communities across this continent rally in solidarity because we recognise state violence when we see it. Instead of listening, governments clamp down on protest, censor voices, and criminalise resistance; the same tactics historically used against our own people. It’s no coincidence: a nation built on dispossession will always try to control the voices that call it out, whether those voices are fighting for justice here or standing with communities fighting for survival abroad.
The Blak Caucus is calling people together because sovereignty has never been ceded, and because every struggle our communities face is tied to a system built on invasion, genocide and lies.
