Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe Will Not Be Charged for Briefly Blocking Sydney Mardi Gras Parade

Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe will not face charges for temporarily blocking the Sydney Mardi Gras parade on Saturday night. Thorpe laid down in front of a float on Oxford Street, momentarily stopping the parade. She was not arrested and was escorted from the parade at the request of organizers. Thorpe was marching with the No Pride in Genocide float, protesting police violence against Black and brown trans women. #LidiaThorpe #SydneyMardiGras #NoCopsInPride
