"Activists expect leniency"
Fuck that I was prepared for the $22k fine, I wasn't keen on the prison time but it was a risk I was willing to take. Everyone who was arrested yesterday feels the same way.
Fossil fuel billionaires do not contribute to the economy, they rape the earth stealing natural resources and rake in profits with next to no taxation. We stood in solidarity with workers this last week, we're the ones fighting for a better economy for Australia. Chants in support of the Maritime Workers Union could be heard across the channel, Rising Tide wants their future careers to be secure. They are not just tools for profit to be discarded when the earth is destroyed.
And finally I'll always stand up for Palestine, I'm pretty damn proud to have been out there on the water wearing my keffiyeh. Fuck the news media, they've destroyed the nation I once loved and are essentially what radicalized me.
Can we chip i and hekp with some $$ at keast ?
You sure can, there's a fundraiser to help pay legal costs and fines. I fully intend to pay mine on my own, so hopefully this goes towards those who are facing larger fines and need the help.
And now reading this I realise I've miscalculated the size of my maximum fine lol (I'll still gladly cover it all on my own).
