Join the Queer Greens for our fabulous march for Midsumma!
It's been a great year for the Queer Greens, with some big wins on intersex rights, and better protections from vilification. There's also a lot to be concerned about: rising poll numbers for One Nation, and restriction on access to healthcare for children mean it's more important than ever for us to show for our community, and to fight for our rights.
Allies are welcome, but registrations are essential in order to tell the event organisers of our total numbers marching.
Arrival Time: 10:30am - this is a strict arrival time, so please plan on arriving 15 minutes early.
What to Wear: Dress fabulous and loud and Green! We've seen ribbons, frocks, wigs, hot pants, and crop tops, campaign shirts and fabulous face paint. Remember to dress for heat!
Restrictions: The event is not allowing glitters, balloons, or formal workplace uniforms. You can read more about these rules on their page, but this won't be relevant to Greens-branded materials.
