I met #VoteYes for campaigner Gav Harris on Twitter. And catching up with Gav and family at the #Sydney #WalkForYes yesterday was a great joy.

This morning, Gav messaged me to say he and his wife, Jade, were quoted on the #VoiceToParliament in today's Sydney Morning Herald. Have a read (👇) and #VoteYESAustralia! ❤️

Thousands brave Sydney heat for Yes march on Voice referendum

The Walk for Yes kicked off with a rally at Redfern Park with the crowd breaking into John Farnham’s You’re the Voice as they marched through the city.

Noting that there was no mention of #WalkForYes in my news briefings from The New Daily this morning, I thought ok surely the SMH has something up where I can find out what the estimated crowd numbers were.

Nope. Apparently there was a marathon yesterday and some (very foolish IMHO) people collapsed in the heat so that gets top billing.

Miserable fucking town, I thought. Then I read this. Sigh. Happy Monday everyone. http://archive.today/xwVEg

In New York, crowds gathered earlier this morning to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge in support of the Voice to Parliament.

Organiser Karri Walker said it meant a lot to her as an Aboriginal woman living in Boston, to see people turn up for the march.

"I hope we send a message to the rest of Australia that Australians are really supportive of the Voice, that this matters and that this is a really historic moment that people really care about," she said.

"Even though we're on the other side of the world, we're still Australians. We still care about what happens there, especially to our Indigenous people," Emma Barnes said.

"We've always had a voice and we've always been using it but now it's time that the Australian parliament listens to us," said Mi-kaisha Masella while crossing the bridge.
