Our free in-person event 'Resisting systemic collusion working with criminalised victim-survivors' on 25 May is sold out. You can still join in online: https://t.co/9p6sS9IDys #FamilyViolenceJusticeProject

Beyond Bricks & Bars and Flat Out recognise today and every day the incredible courage, fight and strength of all TGD people inside prisons and the great risk that comes with visibility inside these aggressively binary systems. #TDOV

I support Lydia standing up for the rights of transwomen who have a right to live free of violence. The Nazis and the peddlers of hate speech are protected while black women are brutalised. #ACAB

[Flat Out Inc. @FlatOutInc]

So its not just trans women who aren't allowed to speak at a "Let women speak" rally.

We stand with Veronica Nelson’s family and are proud to support this clear blueprint for bail reform. We call on the Andrews Government to urgently implement bail reform so what happened to Poccum never happens again. Victoria needs #PoccumsLaw. #SpringSt https://t.co/P3Sp9DfnQ4

Tomorrow the Coroner will hand down findings in Veronica Nelson’s Inquest. There will be a smoking ceremony at 10am.

Please attend if you can.

It has been a privilege to represent Veronica’s partner, Uncle Percy Lovett, and support his fight for #JusticeForVeronicaNelson

Apryl Day dismissed the police union’s comments:

“They actually have more of a care factor around their police powers being stripped than they do the lives of Aboriginal people and the deaths in custody that are occurring within Victoria.” https://t.co/BgqWKqfHOH

[Apryl Louise Day @apryl__louise]

A huge win for our family and community. Family-led grassroots advocacy can achieve great things! #JusticeForTanyaDay

It’s 2023, isn’t it about time we learn from the abhorrent mistakes and right the wrongs of for profit companies taking advantage of the most marginalised in our community?

[Sarah Schwartz @Sarah__Schwartz]

Vic Gov ignores grieving families by awarding this contract to the same people - a for-profit company which cannot provide culturally safe or equivalent healthcare

The Vic prison health system needs urgent overhaul now!

[Council to Homeless Persons @CHPVic]

Each year someone spends behind bars costs Victoria $154,000.

Every dollar spent on social housing goes a lot further than prison spending. It's crucial the Vic Gov commits to build 6k new social homes every year over the next 10.

More than 100 people have been forced to remain in jail after their parole applications were withdrawn or rejected because of a lack of housing.

Aunty Vickie says for the approx 90% of women in prison who have been abused throughout their lives, strip searching is a particularly terrifying experience.
