We pay our respect and gratitude to elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect and recognition to all First Nations people, in particular neighbouring Pasifika peoples. We recognise the 60,000+ years of resilience and survival, culture, lore and language. We particularly acknowledge the Jagera and Turrbal people on whose land we live and learn.
White Australia: It’s time to pay the rent
Action Ready would like to recognise that choice is a privilege: to choose to be arrested, to have the choice to be informed and ready, to have the choice not to fight for survival. We acknowledge that operating within the existing legal system maintains and replicates social divisions even within progressive movements and that Australia’s colonial law will always be a tool for subjugation.
It is our hope that a well-informed activist can find new and creative ways to use and subvert the law.
