On Sunday 24^th March 2024, communities came together in rallies across the nation in solidarity as defenders of native forests, and in objection to their ongoing destruction. The rallies were organised by the Bob Brown Foundation (https://bobbrown.org.au/) and supported with passionate speeches by community leaders, environmental scientists, federal and state senators, and young concerned citizens. The events were well covered in an article published on the same day in the Guardian, which featured images of the rally in Sydney, including participating members of the Dirt Witches and the Tree Veneration Society.
