Please be advised
- Reports indicate that multiple civil society groups in Canada and the USA, including Children’s Health Defense and Teachers for Choice, will join the international call for protests under the banner ‘SOS Australia’ on November 4. Protests will be held outside the Australian Consulate General in multiple cities in both countries throughout the day.
- Details regarding the exact protest locations and timings are as follows:
