The upcoming referendum is a step towards First Nations justice which is why Democracy in Colour will be supporting ‘Yes’ for Voice, Truth and Treaty. This is the beginning of a national conversation about the ongoing impacts of colonisation on First Nations people.

A Yes outcome will allow us to move towards transformative change that First Nations communities have been advocating for for decades — truth-telling, treaty, land rights, representation, meaningful First Nations-led justice and holding politicians within Governments to account.

Many of us and our families have been forced to migrate or seek asylum and refuge on this continent because of the perpetual legacy of British and European colonisation.

Fierce and unwavering resistance led by First Nations communities fought to abolish the White Australia Policy which has benefited PoC migrants.

As settlers on this continent we hold immense privilege. It is our duty to leverage this privilege in solidarity with First Nations people in their fight for sovereignty.

Pledge to #WriteYes for Voice, for Truth, for Treaty and for transformative change.
