It was so deadly yarning with community in Healesville! 🖤💛❤️

Our Co-chair Meriki Onus and Members for Metro Troy Austin, Aunty Esme Bamblett, Uncle Alan Brown and Jedda Atkinson-Costa loved connecting with our attendees about all things Treaty.

From the little ones to the Elders who were in attendance, thanks so much for coming to share your ideas and learn. This Treaty belongs to all of us.

Nobody deserves to feel unsafe in their own home.

Time and time again, Aboriginal women are dismissed and unheard when they seek support.

We know that healing is only possible when we feel safe and protected.

It’s up to all of us to step up to call out violence against women. Because healthier communities are everyone’s responsibility.

Shout out to AFLW footballer and proud Ningy Ningy woman Aliesha Newman for her deadly Pride Round football design!

Aliesha’s piece reflects on “love and the journey of becoming comfortable in who you are.” We love to see so many incredible First Nations artists and athletes showcasing their talent.

Which team are you rooting for this Pride Round?

Check out this deadly @bulldogsw guernsey for AFLW’s Pride Round!

The Western Bulldogs make history this year, using traditional Aboriginal symbols with the colours of the pride flag for their Pride Round guernsey.

The artwork, by Wotjobaluk & LGBTQIA+ woman Chelsea Adamson @chels.dakota (she/they)
from Wergaia Country, celebrates rainbow mob and increases visibility for First Nations LGBTQIA+ communities.

Good luck to @bulldogsw as you go head to head with Essendon on Friday!
