A cross-post with the Australian Independent Media Network. The Marches in March continue to glow with controversy. Never did so few gather so many, without engaging the usual suspects of the old media, the political parties, NGOs, the unions and the activist groups. There had to be a dark side to these events. The people can’t […]
March of the open-hearted: @Sally_Owl tells the inside story of #MarchInMarch
March 26, 2014
I started writing this on Tuesday, March 18, 2014, on a flight home after attending March in March (MiM) Melbourne last Sunday, and MiM Canberra on Monday, March 17. I am still giving thanks, six days later, for the miracle that ensured MiM 2014 was a great success, that the vision I had for the marches […]
We are family: Sydney’s #MarchInMarch, by @coolmccool
March 23, 2014
[clear] By Jim McCool @coolmccool Last Sunday, despite a thunderstorm and torrential downpours, thousands of Sydneysiders joined the #MarchInMarch protests. According to some media reports, this was a march of leftist extremists, the usual parade of tree-huggers and soap-dodgers. I do not believe that to be the case. I was there. My family was there. I […]
More questions than answers after Adelaide #MarchInMarch: @WorsleyTrevor reports
March 23, 2014
Story & Photos by Trevor Worsley @WorsleyTrevor 23rd March 2014 I am not a political activist. I have never been to a protest or demonstration of any kind.

New Politics, New Media: On-the-ground #MarchinMarch reporting by citizen journalist @jansant
March 22, 2014
By Wayne Jansson @jansant 20th March 2014 It’s normal to start a story at the beginning. I’m going to start smack bang in the middle with this one, as it sums up one of the many factors which forced 100,000 plus people to MarchInMarch (MiM) around Australia. I say forced intentionally. People don’t take to the streets in […]

Training it to Melbourne’s #MarchinMarch, by @jenoutwest
March 18, 2014
[clear] By Jenny Bates @jenoutwest, 17 March, 2014 Our journey to March in March began Sunday morning on a standing room only train to Melbourne – amazing, considering not an AFL colour could be seen. It was obvious this march was going to be big, and it was. As more people squeezed in at each stop, […]

#MarchinMarch report from Newcastle by @Sikamikanico
March 18, 2014
By Nicola Bell @Sikamikanico Source: Sikamikanico Blogs 18th March 2014 After all of the build up to the March in March, I nearly ended up not marching at all. First I was supposed to be marching in Newcastle, then it looked like we’d be in Sydney, then Sydney was cut short but I was having niggling health issues […]
