It’s time to rally. 11am, Sunday 28th, at the Cranker!
🌅Why in the morning? We’re holding this rally in the morning because that’s the best time for the media, and we need this issue to be covered by the media!
🚨Bonus! We’re going to march from the Cranker to Parliament House!
🚨🚨Bonus bonus! We’re putting a band on a truck that will lead the march!
🚨🚨🚨Bonus bonus bonus! The Cranker is opening early at 1pm for beers afterwards!
🎸If you’re a musician, bring your instrument if you feel comfortable marching with it. You can play it, jam with others as we march, and the media will eat it up.
At a time when live music venues are closing across the state. At a time when there is vacant land in the city. This soulless tower is what will replace the Cranker?
The problem is that our planning laws only consider the value of a building's appearance. Our laws don’t consider the social and cultural value of a building.
But here’s the good news. There are still lots of ways to save the Cranker. The best one would be to reform the laws to consider social and cultural value!
And there’s already momentum! In the days after this rally, there will be a vote in parliament about the need to consider social and cultural values. It’s a vote triggered by the huge support for the Save the Cranker campaign, so great work everyone!
To be clear, if this vote passes, it won’t immediately save the Cranker. But it will be a huge step in the right direction. If it doesn’t pass, it will make the fight harder.
That’s why we need to turn out. See you there! 👑⚓️
