The local loop of Knitting Nannas Against Gas are readying their box and their pussies for a placid protest of the loud and partially pink kind this weekend in preparation for the tough times ahead, and the inauguration of Donald Trump in the US tomorrow our time.
The Nannas have just one question: ‘Are you outraged?’
If you’re as mad as hell and you’re not going to take it any more, if you are fed up with the way our country’s ‘leaders’ deal with the environment, centrelink, health, education, pensions, politicians’ perks, sovereignty, police, the courts, privatisation, climate change, sexism, racism, unionism, taxation, asylum seekers, refugees and anything else that you find incomprehensible, then the Nannas are inviting you to be part of the community to stand up and have your say on the box.
The forum will literally pop-up at 10.30am, tomorrow Saturday 21 January on the corner of Molesworth and Magellan Streets in Lismore.
Speakers will have three minutes to stand on the box air their grievances.
As well as the forum, the Nannas will don their knitted pink pussy ears as a show of solidarity and support for the Women’s March on Washington, and event that will happen this Saturday (US time) in America.
The Women’s March on Washington is a march and rally featuring nationally recognized advocates, artists, entertainers, entrepreneurs, thought leaders who are sending the message: ‘Hands off our pussies! We deplore the president-elect’s revolting description and assessment of women, and his encouragement of their objectification and sexual violence against women.
This forum is being encouraged by the Knitting Nannas – it’s for the kiddies and they ask that speakers please be nice, and they won’t abide by any hates speech or rude words – thank-you.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
