Our Freedom Campaign


Our Freedom Campaign
The issue
Mère Mari and Campaign against Racism and Fascism are joining forces to create the Our Freedom Campaign. It is time to take a stand against Racism, Fascism and Prejudice on Australian Land. Through products, rallies and the creation of Our Freedom we want to raise awareness of whats going on in our own back yard. It may seem that these issues have come along way but under the circumstances of the on going battle that we are experiencing today its time to take a stand.
Statistics of Dr Dunn have shed light on the issue of racism,
- 31.6% of respondents claimed to have ‘negative’ feelings towards Muslim Australians, 22.4% claimed to have ‘negative’ feelings towards Middle-‐Eastern Australians while only 9% had negative feelings towards Aboriginal Australians.
- 36.4% believe the number of immigrants accepted into Australia is too high or much too high.
- 41.1% believe Australia is weakened by people of different ethnicities sticking to their old ways.
- 20.5% believe that African refugees increase crime in Australia. Men and older participants were more likely to believe that African refugees increase crime.
- 32% of respondents reported having experienced racism within their workplace. 32% of respondents reported having experience racism within an educational facility.
- Those who belong to a Language Other Than English (LOTE) background reported the highest rates of workplace racism (54.1%) and racism within various educational institutions (55.8%).
- The experience of racism on public transport or in the street was the highest at 34.1 per cent, followed by at a shop or shopping centre at 32.2 per cent. Online experiences of racism were also quite high at 28.2 per cent.
- Those of LOTE background experienced the highest rates of discrimination in shops/shopping centres (56.9%), on public transport or in the street (58.2%), and online (49.1%).
- 48.6% believe people from racial, ethnic, cultural and religious minorities groups should behave more like mainstream Australians.
- 54.4% of respondents agreed that Australia should help refugees fleeing persecution in their homeland.43% believe that all boats carrying asylum seekers should be turned back.
With these underlying feelings of Racism within the Australian community, there has been a rise within fascism hate groups and we need to take a stand to show that they aren't welcome.
Why Our Freedom?
Mère Mari has been founded on the personal relationship of how fascism and hate has impacted the owner and designer 'Jacqueline Marie' through family heritage and experience through all walks of life whilst CARF are a group of like minded people who don't believe that these values belong in our society.
Our freedom campaign acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work.
