It was never planned, at least not by us.
A grassroots movement that was borne out of necessity, The People’s Revolution (TPR) started in Brisbane on Saturday 30 May 2020 when gatherings in public had just become illegal. This spontaneous and largely informal volunteer movement has since become the largest of its type in Australia, and recently the only one left standing.
The principal activity of TPR is holding rallies with a street march, averaging every two months or as otherwise needed in response to current developments. The timing of these is in conjunction with the worldwide freedom movement of which TPR is a member. The rallies serve as an opportunity to bring speakers and information which people will not otherwise hear via the legacy media. Attendees are also bolstered by the knowledge that they are not alone and that many others in the community are with them.
TPR has held over 50 rallies to date and has an exemplary working relationship with the Queensland Police. This relationship is remarkable when you consider that founder and public identity Tristan Van Rye (Triccy) initially suffered through a campaign of intimidation and harassment by the Queensland Police Service in addition to three sets of sudden bank account closures (both personal and also TPR accounts).
TPR also holds secondary events such as ‘self-sufficiency’ workshops and related online discussion forums in line with community needs.
