Flood the System - a podcast by Em Gayfer, Megan Williams, Pauline Vetuna, Teishan Ahearne, Bec Horridge, Else Kennedy & Nicky Stott

This week is a journey of voices and sounds from a morning of creative resistance in the centre of the city that was the Flood the System in Melbourne. Flood the System is a worldwide movement of people committed to powerful non-violent direct action that challenges the root causes of the problem and is seeking climate justice. On Thursday 10th December, a peaceful, mass civil disobedience shut down the Westpac and BHP Billiton buildings with lock-ons and created a blue web where people gathered blocking Collins street and connecting the dots between between capitalism, other systems of oppression, and the climate crisis. It was part of rolling actions around Australia and the world to correspond to the final days of COP21 meeting in Paris and show the world that where the so called'leaders'continue to fail us, the people will take their own actions.
