"Every truth told helps restore our rightful place as sovereign peoples who, despite everything, have maintained our connection to culture, Country and community." - Yoorrook Deputy Chair, Sue-Anne Hunter In Victoria 2024 has been a remarkable year, filled with powerful moments. Through Yoorrook Justice Commission, in submissions and at hearings, people have shared truths that expose the devastating impacts of colonisation to First Peoples, from land dispossession to Stolen Generations, to systemic racism in education, health and child protection. Non-First Nations witnesses have acknowledged historical wrongs and Yoorrook has documented the impact of intergenerational trauma, highlighting how policies continue to shape present realities. In 2025, Yoorrook will continue to share the truths gathered over the past three years and make recommendations to reform the systems which continue to cause harm and injustice to First Peoples.

In the wake of the summer riots across England, community and faith leaders are urging for more profound dialogue on the underlying causes of unrest. Superficial, large-scale meetings aren't enough to address the disenfranchisement and anger - especially among young people. In the latest Religion Media Centre briefing, participants from our 11 Creating Connections events came together to discuss the need for genuine collaboration and support from government to address issues like safe streets and social justice. As we build towards lasting solutions, it’s essential that faith groups receive the resources they need to make an impact. How can we better support community dialogue and foster real change? Find out more and watch the full discussion. #CreatingConnections #CommunityLeadership #FaithInAction #SocialJustice #GovernmentSupport #SustainableChange #BuildingBridges #UKRiots

Our hearts are heavy as we stand in solidarity with the students, staff, families, and community of Abundant Life Christian School following yesterday's incident of school violence. When events like this occur, the impact reverberates across Wisconsin and throughout our nation, touching every school, every classroom, and every family. Here in Madison, across our state, and throughout the country, many are experiencing feelings of distress, unease, fear, and anger. As our communities process this event together, please remember that there is no "right" way to cope with such profound challenges. During these difficult times, it's crucial to lean on our support networks - whether that's your school family, colleagues, friends, or community members. To help navigate conversations about this sensitive topic, we're sharing some valuable resources: For families with young children: Sesame Workshop offers age-appropriate guidance on discussing violence and creating a sense of safety: https://lnkd.in/e3nMeCUb The National Child Traumatic Stress Network provides comprehensive resources specifically related to school shooting incidents and supporting affected communities: https://lnkd.in/g6sdPSNf The National Association of School Psychologists has created helpful guidelines for families and educators: https://lnkd.in/gx7J5rmw...

#HumanRights. #CentralityofProtection The humanity in All of us. When someone-anyone- suffers injustice, maltreatment, deprivation, debasement humiliation and subjugation.... There is something about debasing #humanity, that erodes the #integrity of the humanity in all of us. We must say no to such abuse and subtractive tendencies!! That's why it is imperative that All actors and stakeholders must be intentional about putting #protection or rather protecting the weak and the vulnerable at the core/center of every #humanitarian #response and indeed every #intervention whose purpose is to benefit #humans. We are humans, not machines!! This is a #collectiveresponsibility. #EmergencyPreparedness #Emergencyresponse #Healthsystemstrengthening #Healthworkforce

"800 people die each day from poverty and low wealth. This is an unacceptable and abolishable reality. Our votes are demands." Be sure to be aware of these issues. Your workplaces could be working to: - continuing poverty - expanding the brutal war economy - ecological devastation - systemic racism - religious nationalism and more! Or, it could be working to help people. https://lnkd.in/e9dUWYBp

1wTruth is healing and for some hard to accept but it is transforming some lives and after a time will be readily accepted as it makes sense to know what really happened .Like all wars the atrocities are horrific and we as a nation spent too much time hiding behind our vision to be a fair country when we were hiding our actions that certainly cannot be be claimed as justice for all .
