Today, the “Stop the Forced Closure of Aboriginal Communities in Australia” rally will be hosted in every big capital city and regional areas in Australia, but also it has gained momentum worldwide, with rallies in Italy, UK, US, Canada, Hong Kong, etc. Also, it will be a big online protest where around 1.8 million people can join anywhere.
