Caroline Alcorso’s first protests were with her family on Tasmania’s Franklin River in 1982 – blockades against the damming of the waterways that grew into Australia’s Greens movement.
She was also on the Sydney Harbour Bridge last Sunday, marching alongside an estimated 225,000 to 300,000 others to call for an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and says the collective mood reminded her of those times on the river.
