No Mykis. No “Inspectors”. No turnstiles. No fines. No fear. And we use the billions we save to expand and improve PT.

Many in our community are having big feelings about this new art installation in Footscray mall…

An escalation in cruelty just as the nights get cold, wet and windy. Following the trend already happening in St Kilda and the Melbourne CBD. The average life expectancy for a person experiencing homelessness is 44 years… what is Council thinking, and is a sign of what their “non security” model will

We want to know which of our representatives is LYING about what this vague, undefined “council-led civic presence” will be.
How could councillors give the thumbs up for a program that hasn’t even been designed yet? They’ve given a blank cheque to unelected bureaucrats to create something that could be

About 50 community members attended the Maribyrnong council meeting tonight to see how councillors would vote on the future of security-based programs against marginalised communities in Footscray. Unfortunately, the door remains wide open for more harm after tonight’s vote. But it’s not over. We still

80+ people at the FCR speak-out tonight despite pouring rain. Chanting “hey hey, ho ho: security has got to go!” and “from the mall to the hall: Footscray belongs to all!”. Speakers highlighted that some members of our community aren’t problems that others need to be protected from; they are our

Council’s own evaluation tells them the community wants real community participation in council decision-making.
So what does Council do? They recommend another half-baked program that ignores the evidence and the findings of their own evaluation. It includes no mention of community consultation!

The last post summarising the findings and recommendations of FCR’s community evaluation of Maribyrnong’s security program, and maybe the most important.
In our ‘positive plan’ we make a series of recommendations for what council should do to achieve real safety for all in Footscray. This isn’t about

There’s been a change — and a backdown — from council in the lead-up to Tuesday’s vote on the future of the security program. But it’s not over yet.
Watch this explainer to see what this means.
Join us at the speak-out on Tuesday 17 February at 5:45pm at Footscray town hall to tell council loud and clear we don’t buy
