Following in the footsteps of his humanitarian
father John Lennon, Julian Lennon has taken to Facebook to show
solidarity against the forced closures of remote Aboriginal communities
in Australia.
Protests have been planned all across the country today, May 1st, and Julian has urged his followers and beyond to support the movement against the closures.
Lennon has over one million followers and said on
Thursday night; “Okay folks, I think history is going to be made
tomorrow. And I wonder if mainstream media can ignore this massive
event?”
He then listed cities and towns in the world and
added, “Communities, towns and cities, in Australia and around the
world, standing in solidarity with the First Peoples of this country to
stop the forced closure of Aboriginal communities.”
More than 11,000 people are expected at the
protest against the forced closure of remote Aboriginal communities,
which follows a similar Friday-afternoon demonstration in April that
brought parts of the CBD to a standstill.
