Democracy is essential - fighting for the right to protest in NSW

<p>The police crackdown on protests in New South Wales is a serious attempt to erode democratic rights and curtail political expression under the cover of the pandemic. On this episode we discuss why democracy should be defended at the same time as serious health measures are put in place to deal with the health crisis. Our guests Vinil Kumar and Eleanor Morely are founding members of the campaign 'Democracy is Essential - Restore the right to protest in NSW'. </p> <p>Campaign Facebook page - <a href='https://www.facebook.com/DemocracyNSW'>https://www.facebook.com/DemocracyNSW</a> </p> <p>Sign up to the campaign - <a href='https://democracyisessential.wordpress.com/signup/?fbclid=IwAR19T1lboJkkoaeqp4N50BJU_-1KmbyxkaiA9pdgpsmpn2yxWS4eW_B9bEc'>here</a> </p> <p>Donate to help pay the fines - <a href='https://www.gofundme.com/f/y6z55y-democracy-is-essential-legal-fighting-fund'>here</a> </p> <p><a href='https://redflag.org.au/node/7379'>Civil rights, profits and the lockdown</a> by Louise O'Shea </p> <p>Support Red Flag Radio on Patreon: </p> <p><a href='https://www.patreon.com/redflagradiopodcast'>https://www.patreon.com/redflagradiopodcast</a>  </p> <p>Subscribe to Red Flag newspaper: </p> <p>https://subscribe.redflag.org.au/ </p> <p>Contact the show: </p> <p><a href='mailto:redflagradiopodcast@gmail.com'>redflagradiopodcast@gmail.com</a> </p> <p>Hosted by Roz Ward.
