Mass vaccine coercion has arrived in Australia, with tens of thousands of workers from a variety of industries all facing looming mandate deadlines and the possibility of losing employment.
After almost half a month of straight protests, Australians were back at it again.
This time, as part of #ReclaimTheLine nationwide strikes — held to support workers including teachers, police, paramedics, aged-care workers, health care workers, firefighters, construction workers, airline staff, miners, truck drivers and more.
Locations such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, Newcastle and others all took part in the mass demonstrations. Some arrests were made in occupied Victoria.
Check out the events below:
ONLINE CAMPAIGN
The nationwide strike was held in two formats: A physical demonstration in person, and for those who could not make it for any reason, an online media drive to get the message across.
All workers were encouraged to write down their profession and support for the campaign, with many taking part to share stories of being silenced, coerced and more:
