Please make time to listen to Tahlia Isaac's International Women's Day Address from 2025, speaking from her personal experiences and the stories of others, about how we treat Indigenous women whom society labels as "criminals" and locks up for overwhelmingly minor offences, further oppressing them and pushing them into poverty and recidivism.

In my opinion, if you think prisons perform a necessary function in society for separating the "bad" from the "good" and keeping communities safe, or that police and the courts are fair and just, then you don't yet understand the system.

Australia's Broken Social Contract — Tahlia Isaac wants to protect women in prison - ABC listen

What happens to a community when it punishes its most vulnerable instead of protecting them Drawing on her own story of addiction, imprisonment, and recovery, as well as her frontline work supporting women behind bars and post-release, Tahlia Issac challenges the "tough on crime" narrative. The typical incarcerated woman in Australia is First Nations, a mother, a survivor of violence, and imprisoned for a low-level offence. Locking her up doesn't make communities safer — it makes them more fragile. This is the 2025 International Women's Day Address at the National Press Club of Australia. Speakers Tahlia Isaac Founder and CEO of Project: herself with lived experience as a woman in prison Emma Macdonald Associate Editor or Her Canberra, an online media company, magazine, and community hub tailored specifically for women, and Canberra Convenor of Women in Media

Brazilian governments in all levels are also hard of hearing regarding Indigenous and Environmental rights a.o. We have to keep screaming. It can work:

Brazilian government halts waterway concessions after Indigenous protests

Brazil’s federal government reverses a decree after Indigenous protesters pressure it to drop plans tied to dredging the Tapajos River. On Monday, officials say they revoke a Lula decree that lets private operators take over waterway concessions. Indigenous groups say dredging threatens the river, their territories and the rainforest’s balance. The protests last 33 days at a Cargill facility in Santarem and spread to other cities. A judge orders the camp cleared on Wednesday, raising the risk of police action. Cargill says its site shuts down. Critics say the move also tests Lula’s ties with agribusiness.

Show up, actively listen, and commit to action on the priorities of the Assembly of First Nations. This is a phenomenal partnership waiting to happen, and it's how the NDP can demonstrate that it's the party of Indigenous people.
