Sport is Political ⚽️🍉 Solidarity with @fezshaheen and his futsal team Palestine (situated on stolen Palawa lands in Lutruwita/Tasmania) for refusing to remove the slogan “from the river to the sea…” from their jerseys.

In standing against anti-Palestinian racism, the team were denied the opportunity to play and awarded an automatic loss. Shame on any authority that claims to “fully support the right to represent…Palestinian identity” but has an issue with “one specific slogan”.

“Sports is yet another example that everything is political. In the last few years Israel has killed more than 800 athletes in Gaza during the ongoing genocide, including 421 football players.” - @tpansports

✅CALL TO ACTION:

If you don’t stand for this kind of discrimination please send a complaint to Football Tasmania and Football Australia (contact details below) about their decision to cancel the team’s game because of the jersey. Please highlight that you are offended by the decision, see it as discrimination and no longer feel comfortable in their spaces. Please demand the team be allowed to play without censoring the jerseys.

The Big Ride for Palestine is coming to Nipaluna/Tasmania!

Join us Sunday, November 8, at 9am at Parliament Lawns for a ride through the CBD. This will be a relaxed ride, where we will travel as a group and aim to make it as accessible as possible. We will leave at roughly 9:30am and end back at Parliament Lawns around 10:30am for Dabke.

The Big Ride for Palestine Australia is an initiative by supporters of the Palestinian people that combines a love of cycling with practical solidarity
and awareness raising. We are supporting the Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA’s partner organisations - MA’AN Development Centre & Palestinian Women’s Humanitarian Organisation This is the 10th year of The Big Ride in Australia. Since then, we have raised over $300,000.

We encourage people to register their ride through The Big Ride website and share their ride on Strava.

Come show solidarity with the Palestinian people! See you then!

This event will take place on stolen First Nations land. The Palawa are the rightful custodians of Lutruwita/Tasmania. We ride in solidarity with all indigenous peoples across the globe. Always was, always will be.
