Next week marks the 60th anniversary of the start of the Freedom Ride 🚌   In 1965, a busload of uni students (led by trailblazer Charlie Perkins) toured NSW towns like Moree and Walgett, inspired by America's Freedom Riders.   They exposed shocking segregation (e.g. kids banned from the local pool), sparked outrage, and kick-started real change ⚖️   Their courage helped pave the way for the 1967 Referendum. In 2005, they retraced those legendary steps, proving that while we've come a long way, there's always more work to do 🌿

“Imagine how proud non-Indigenous children would feel about all our cultures, together” 🌱…   We encourage everyone to spend some time understanding a bit more about the history of this land, the ongoing effects that it has had in First Nations Communities, and how this is an undeniable part of our collective history as a nation.   Jan 26th is a Mourning Day.

Celebrating Australia Day on January 26 marks the start of British colonisation - a day of invasion and dispossession for First Australians ❤️🩹 Unlike other former colonies, which celebrate independence, Australia uniquely commemorates colonisation, a date that divides ➗ rather than unites ➕ This isn’t about diminishing our national pride, achievements or collective identity 💚💛, but acknowledging the pain and injustice this date represents for Indigenous Australians ❤️💛🖤💚💙🤍. It’s a reminder of trauma, not unity. What if we celebrated on a date that unites us all? 🤔 Most nations celebrate dates that symbolise independence or progress. Australia could do the same - consider 5th/9th July 1900 (Constitution Act) or 9th May 1901 (proclamation of the Commonwealth) - dates that reflect unity and self-governance as a nation. _______ Here's some of the events that you can support on Jan26, shared by the team from Clothing The Gaps, one of the First Nations organisations that are driving this change. If you can’t support in person, find some First Nations voices online ➡️follow them, hear them, support them and amplify their message online.
