STRUGGLE CONTINUOUS, WE MUST ORGANISE AND TAKE ACTION!
Ours rights ours freedom always. These rights give us the freedom form groups, to join organisation and to peacefully protest fo the things we want and to counter the things we don’t.
These freedoms are called civic society and are an essential part of a vibrant society; where debate and discussion thrive, and wher people are able to contribute to important decisions that affect them.
