I want to bring it back to #BlackLivesMatterAustralia and share some of the stories/voices of the families that I'm working closely with.
There's 438 black deaths since 1991. There are so many stories you should know. #SayTheirNames

Blak deaths in custody continue at horrific rates - despite 29 years ago a Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths In Custody which set out a roadmap of why and how to prevent blak deaths. The 339 recommendations have been ignored. Read them here. austlii.edu.au/au/other/Indig…
Blak deaths in custody continue for many reasons but largely the systemic, structural & direct racism in the justice & coronial systems, lack of accountability & because we are mass incarcerated in the first place. Our mob are 28% of prisons but only 2% of the population.
It's not the responsibility of Indigenous people to educate us about how we can end racism, it's up to white people to figure it out as we are the problem. Here's 25 practical small things I am doing to amplify, support & educate myself. Join me. I have much more to do & learn.
