Vulnerability, strength, anger and compassion were on show all at once for the Mullumbimby leg of the March 4 Justice movement. A crowd, many wearing all black, could not all fit inside the Mullumbimby Civic Memorial Hall, such was the support behind the event. Community leaders and survivors of sexual abuse and harassment addressed the crowd before they marched to the Byron Shire Council chambers. Ilona Harker, the convener of the Mullumbimby event, said it was emotional to join the groundswell of the national call to action. "It's been so emotional but I think what happened today was women needed a place to put that, because we're not getting listened to and we're not getting heard," Ms Harker said.
