Free Lex Wotton
Today is the International Day of Action in solidarity with Palm Island man Lex Wotton who is due to be sentenced in the Brisbane Court for a riot conviction. Despite being the member of the community that assisted police out of the justifiably angry crowd, Lex was scapegoated and is now facing ten years in prison. While the man who murdered his nephew walks free with a $100,000 compensation and a medal.
There are actions happening across the world today. Check the Facebook group for the full list.
My wee contribution to the legal fund is some patches I whipped up. They are lovingly handmade on calico. No screens, just diy, cut and spray. Perfect for your bag. And all proceeds straight to Lex.
Get one (or lots, but probably contact me first re postage) here.
In solidarity

Update:
Lex got sentenced to 6 six years in prison today (effectively 5 as he’s already served 1). This is SHAMEFUL. SHAME, AUSTRALIA!!!
