‘They’re Still Killing Us’: Powerful Footage From Invasion Day Protests Across Unceded Land

Invasion Day Age Lidia Thorpe Paul Silva Perth Australia Day Murder
Thousands of people across the country have rallied in solidarity with First Nations folk on Invasion Day — a day which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people recognise as one of mourning, survival, protest and resistance. January 26 marks the beginning of a violent, brutal colonisation, when Captain James Cook declared “terra nullius” to justify the dispossession, suffering and inhumane treatment of First Nations people. We gather, protest, rally and march to call for action on Indigenous deaths in custody, changing the date and including First Nations people in the Australian constitution. Here is a snapshot of the Invasion Day and Survival Day protests, rallies and marches which took place on stolen land on Thursday. Meanjin / Brisbane

At the Aboriginal Tent Embassy — which is one of the longest continuing protest sites in the world, having occupied the lawns of Old Parliament House for 51 years — they listened to speeches from elders and activists.
