Activist defends plans for major pro-Palestine protest in Melbourne’s inner north-east

An activist has defended the decision to block a busy street in Northcote tomorrow as part of a pro-Palestine protest.

“‘While you’re shopping, bombs are dropping’, I don’t think it’s something people should forget when their country and their government is complicit in an active genocide,” she told Tom Elliott.
