We are not a political party... this is a political party!
Calling all you groovy cats out there!
Feeling frustrated by the ruthless action the government is taking? It's time to get FUNKY with it. We will be targeting banks and corporations avoiding billions in tax that could be used to avert devastating cuts being made to public services.
...There is lots to be angry about. We aim to show our anger through creativity, fun and funky tunes. We know the energy that goes into having a party every weekend in this city. This is a callout to channel this energy against the cuts.
DRESS: As funktastic and bright as you want to make it. Bring whistles, horns - anything that makes a noise, dressing up, banners, placards and we will bring the sounds.
We will be using the vibes of surprise
This is a peaceful non-violent demonstration
Bring your boogie!
