Black Lives Matter: the Australian context
In the aftermath of the public death of George Floyd in the USA last May, millions of outraged citizens around the world took to the streets to protest a range of longstanding and systemic issues related to human rights, social justice and race relations.
At this ChangeMakers event, we will focus on the Australian context for the Black Lives Matter movement and how you can contribute to driving change in this critically important area.
