A national movement of multicultural, migrant & First Nations peoples - speaking, advocating & campaigning for our communities.
Authorised by Z. Edries, Sydney
Helpful advice for NSW Government:
Over-policing and creating fear and panic in multicultural communities isn't going to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Clear communication, translated for different communities and meaningful income support will.
1400 people who came to Australia to find a safe home have been locked up in cruel detention for too long.
Join the twitter storm calling for Scott Morrison to release and resettle refugees in Australia now! πhttps://t.co/MQ5EmaWC6c
Since ASIO has confirmed that a majority of the work they do is focused on far-right extremism, there should be no more 'whataboutism'. Far-right extremism is the most serious national threat and it needs to be dealt with by the Morrison Government now. https://t.co/zBbQrQBZvZ
We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and calls upon governments around the world β including our own β to condemn the Israeli government's acts of violence against the Palestinian people and call for an end to the occupation.
Last week, an Australian resident died from COVID in India -- just days after the travel ban was introduced with jail terms and fines. This is the human cost of the cruel policy enforced by the Morrison Government.
End the travel ban now.

This is a historic step β but it's a national shame that there's still no justice for the hundreds of other Aboriginal people who have died in custody.
We stand in solidarity with the family of Kumanjayi Walker and their community as this process unfolds. #JusticeForWalker
BREAKING: The police officer charged over the shooting of 19y/o Walpiri man Kumanjayi Walker last year will stand trial for murder in the Supreme Court
It will be the FIRST time in national history that a police officer will be tried for murder for an Aboriginal death in custody
Senator Thorpe has expressed that seeing more First Nations people represented in Parliament is crucial, and that a treaty is one of her top priorities.
Itβs great to see such a strong advocate in the Senate and we look forward to seeing what she accomplishes!
We need a seat at the table, a real seat, not a tokenistic one."
β Gunnai and Gunditjmara woman, @lidia__thorpe, who formally joined the Senate yesterday.
She's the first Aboriginal senator for the Greens and the first Aboriginal woman in the Victorian Parliament.
Itβs fantastic to see women from First Nations and migrant backgrounds in political leadership positions.
Itβs time for more people from our communities to be represented across all political parties.
Great news π
Lidia Thorpe, Victoriaβs first Aboriginal senator, is set to be named the Greensβ First Nations and justice spokesperson.
Meanwhile, NSW Senator Mehreen Faruqi will be appointed to the Greensβ newly created anti-racism portfolio.

"The Christchurch massacre was, undeniably, an atrocity β but it did not come out of nowhere.
"The seeds of Brenton Tarrantβs vile actions have been planted for decades by bad actors intent on fomenting hatred and violence against Muslims."
