Australia: LGBTQ activists plan protest march from Pride Square in Newtown, Sydney, from 14:00 Nov. 23
LGBTQ activists to march from Pride Square in Newtown, Sydney, Australia, from 14:00 Nov. 23. Increased security likely.
LGBTQ activists plan to gather at Pride Square in the Newtown area of Sydney starting at 14:00 Nov. 23 before marching to Sydney Park. The action is to commemorate Trans Day of Visibility and demand equality, safety, and dignity for trans and non-binary people at schools and workplaces. Over a hundred people will likely join the action.
Authorities will probably deploy additional security in the vicinity of the planned rally site. Counterprotests are possible. Localized business and transport disruptions could occur during the protest march. While the rally will likely pass peacefully, isolated scuffles between rival activists and with the police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest march as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Use alternative routes to circumvent the rally route. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
