A powerful call to move beyond symbolic gestures and toward genuine, sustained engagement. This is an important watch for every Australian dedicated to meaningful reconciliation! #NationalReconciliationWeek #NRW #IndigenousRights #AdamGoodes #CobbleCobble #MeganDavis #Australia

I'm really appreciative of this webinar that's come out during National Reconciliation Week - Adam Goodes and Prof Megan Davis talking truth-telling, tokenism, allyship and structural change. "Allyship is a practice, not a destination" is such an important reminder vimeo.com/1088921055 https://vimeo.com/1088921055

So much to take from this #7amPodcast episode: the history of the #UluruStatement and #VoiceToParliament, inspirational quotes by #MickGooda and #MeganDavis, and a profound and moving ending by the host #DanielJames that I replayed 3 times! ❀️

The Fight for a Voice: The road to the referendum

On October 14, we will be asked a question to which we must answer yes or no. While the question itself is simple, the issues in and around the debate over the proposed alteration to the nation’s founding document are anything but simple. To understand how we got here and why we are voting on a Voice to Parliament, it’s important to understand what happened to the last consultative body for Indigenous people.

If you haven't read the Uluru Statement from the Heart, then here's a link to a good website that details the Statement and its history and hopes: https://ulurustatement.org/the-statement/view-the-statement/

I'm also reading a good book on the #UluruStatement and the #VoiceToParliament and all the dialogues that took place around Australia for over a decade and culminated in the 440-word, one-page Statement and the proposed Constitutional Amendment, Everything You Need to Know about the Voice by #MeganDavis and #GeorgeWilliams.

But don't tell Pauline Hansen or Peta Credlin about it because the book is 224 pages! πŸ™„
