This February (2026), Maribyrnong Council will vote on whether Footscray’s unhoused community and other “undesirables” using public space should continue to be surveilled and criminalised by private security guards.
Footscray Community Response says NO to security guards, NO to more police, NO to carceral violence…
YES to an inclusive community based on solidarity and care.
Join FCR at 5:45pm on Tuesday 17 February at Maribyrnong Town Hall for a speak-out, then we’ll all head into the Council meeting together to ensure our community is heard.
And if you haven’t yet, please sign the petition in our bio which will be submitted to Council with our People’s Evaluation. Please share with your networks! #footscraybelongstoeveryone
