On 26 May each year, National Sorry Day marks the tabling of the Bringing them Home report in the Australian Parliament and commemorates survivors of the Stolen Generation. The report was a landmark truth telling process, sadly almost 30 years on a number of the report’s 54 recommendations remain unmet. The theme for this year, ‘Bringing Them Home – the unfinished business’, highlights the growing urgency of acting on the outstanding recommendations. We cannot begin to fix the problems of the present without accepting the truth of our history. Sorry Day is a time to remember the past policies of forced child removal and reflect on the sad and painful stories of the Stolen Generations. It is a time to recognise the resilience of First Nations peoples and the power of saying Sorry. #UnfinishedBusiness #BringingThemHome #NationalSorryDay #selectability #MentalHealth

It’s National Sorry Day. 🖤 💛💗 On 26 May each year, National Sorry Day marks the tabling of the "Bringing Them Home Report" in the Australian Parliament in 1997 and commemorates Stolen Generations survivors. The Bringing Them Home Inquiry examined the truth of Australia’s Stolen Generations past, and its report shared this truth with the nation. HOWEVER, 27 years on many of the report’s 54 recommendations still have not been implemented, or only partially implemented. ☹ Sorry Day is a day to honor survivors, acknowledge past injustices and the truth of our history, and to commit to reconciliation and how part we can each play a part to create a fairer, unified society. #unfinishedbusiness #bringingthemhome #HopeCommunityServices #NationalSorryDay #NationalReconciliationWeek #NRW2024 #SorryDay #unfinishedbusiness #bringingthemhome #HopeCommunityServices #NationalSorryDay #NationalReconciliationWeek 🕊️

How you work together to advance justice matters. How you navigate challenges and disagreements on your coalition or community group matters. We cannot afford to tear our groups apart en route to making the “right decision.” We must navigate consensus building in a way that makes it possible for us to continue our path forward after the moment of mobilization passes. How you go matters just as much as where you go. #transformingchange #socialjustice #socialchange #moreispossible #coalitionbuilding #consensusbuilding #leadershipdevelopment

🚨 Urgent Action Needed 🚨 The recent decision by the Government to proceed with deporting individuals entering the UK 'illegally' to #Rwanda disregards their status as victims of modern slavery and human trafficking. This move undermines the tireless efforts of organizations like the Sophie Hayes Foundation and the resilience of survivors. CEO of Sophie Hayes Foundation, Emily Death rightly points out, "Today is a sad day for all those who have worked tirelessly to identify and support survivors of #modernslavery and #humantrafficking in the UK, as well as the survivors themselves." If you share this outrage, it's time to take action. SIGN the #PETITION urging local leaders to prioritize the urgent issue of modern slavery. Every signature is crucial. Let's make our voices heard and stand up for human rights. https://lnkd.in/eNpY2c6G #Petition #RwandaBill #StopTheBill #KillTheBill #HumanRights #EndHumanTrafficking
