The Department of Homo Affairs Operation: CopsOut!
Donation protected
This campaign has now ended. Thank you!!
At this years Sydney Mardi Gras parade the Department of Homo Affairs (DOHA) intercepted the NSW and Federal Police floats. Dressed as cricket umpires we jumped onto the SCG field and called the cops OUT! Our action was in solidarity with over-policed communities, in particular First Nations communities. We hoped to draw on the spirit of the 78ers by taking this action.
But making Mardi Gras political again comes at a cost...
The umpires who were arrested have been fined. We are seeking funds to help cover the costs of the action and any potential legal fees and the fines. Any additional funds raised will be redistributed any money raised to campaigns for Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and prisoner advocacy groups (listed in our Linktree on Instagram).
