The Australian Communist Party stands in solidarity with the demonstrations that are being carried out in the USA that were sparked by the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police. We understand that these demonstrations come as a result of the institutionalised racism within the United States government, and the disproportionate targeting of African-Americans and First Nations people by police and the judicial system, targeting that all too often contains unwarranted brutality and ends in the unjustified murder of civilians at the hands of police and corrective services personnel.
