MEAA Board statement on the March for Humanity across the Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) supports the Palestine Action Group’s bid to March for Humanity across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Nearly 200 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli forces since October 2023.

Beyond the more than 50,000 civilians already killed in this conflict, our colleagues continue to work in Gaza under sickness, starvation and bombardment to bring news of the horrors there to the world. This must end, and international media be allowed to enter Gaza.

As the union for Australia’s media and creative workers, we stand for freedom of expression. MEAA supports the public’s right to peaceful protest, even when disruptive or inconvenient.

MEAA calls for the NSW Government to facilitate the March for Humanity across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
