When: Saturday, 6 June 2026, 10am
Where: From Speaker’s Corner on Birrarung Marr to Batman Park (just past Sea Life) – approx 2 kms
Join us for a community fun run (or stroll or roll) from the river (Birrarrung Marr) to the “sea” (that’s Sea Life Aquarium, not the real sea) on June 6, to raise funds to fight QLD’s laws banning pro-Palestine speech.
This is the Naarm action supporting the major event in Magan-djin and sister events in Gadi (Sydney) and Boorloo (Perth).
Why?
26 people have been arrested in QLD so far publicly supporting Palestine, charged under Premier Crisafulli’s prohibited expressions laws. We’ve seen state censorship of public artworks and police raids on the homes of citizens and artists calling out the ongoing genocide in Gaza. But the movement for Palestinian liberation is unwavering. Now more than ever is the time to keep showing up for Palestine!
Justice for Palestine Magandjin are fundraising to challenge these prohibited expressions laws in the High Court, and they need all the financial support we can muster. So we’re breaking out the activewear for a good ol’ fashion fun run!
How does it work?
Form a team or come solo. We won’t be timing anyone – the goal is getting the word out and raising dollars!
(To make your own team, on the CHUFFED PAGE scroll down and click on “Sign up as a Fundraiser” next to the Leaderboard heading.)
What are we wearing?
We’re channeling the power walking energy of the ’80s and ’90s – think parachute pants, short shorts, long socks, sweat bands, tiny dumbells in hand. And of course, watermelon colours are encouraged.
Can’t make it on the day?
Help out by donating to and sharing the word on Justice For Palestine Magandjin’s legal fund – MAKE A DONATION.
