Rio Tinto should not have a place on campus while they continue to exploit the environment for their own gain while majorly contributing to the climate crisis that we face.

You as a student have power in your voice and if you want to show your support and join the fight for climate change get in contact with the La Trobe Student Union and their Social Justice Officers.

If you want to show support for climate action, join us and the rest of the LTSU to protest for the National Day of Action this Friday the 17th
