Busy few days for Jess

The last few days have been really busy for Jess. On Friday the candidates were officially declared (see photo) for Cunningham. Jess drew the last spot on the ballot paper. During the afternoon she volunteered at the Port Kembla community garden with friends.
On Saturday Jess spoke at the 'Defending Aboriginal rights, eyewitness report from the Northern Territory' meeting in Wollongong. Check out earlier posts on this blog, or http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/44718 for more information.
On Sunday Jess attended the 'Solidarity with Gaza' lunch, organised by the South Coast Labour Council. Jess has been a long-time solidarity campaigner for the rights of Palestinians, including speaking at the Wollongong rally for Gaza earlier this year (check out posts from early June on this blog). Funds raised by the dinner will go to the El Wafa hospital in Gaza.
