Let's Take Over: Brisbane's Invasion Day Rally, March and other activities

January 26th is a public holiday for Australia Day, the 219th anniversary of white settlement in Australia. Not surprisingly, Aboriginal people don't see it as a day of celebration, and they have organised 'Invasion Day' activities. One of the reasons will be to keep the pressure on the Government over the death in custody of Aboriginal man Mulrunji.
