Say No to Racist Pigs...

While in Sydney we came across this extremely racist mural near where we were staying. Some righteous vandals had painted it... Nice work!

Here is a link to past righteous graffiti makeovers.

This mural has been up for quite some time. Around 8 people have been arrested in protesting it. The council is sitting on their hands. ILP is about building cross border community links around community and urban art practice. This mural is against these principles between borders and works well at creating internal one between one another. We support anyone who wants to use their art practice for good and take action against this hideous mural and mindset.
