Australia, it's Reconciliation Week. Because I have so many Aboriginal friends, my social media is awash with articles related to 2 issues: George Floyd's murder & the Rio Tinto destruction of a 46,000 yr old heritage site. The same problem lead to both these tragedies - racism!
Aboriginal people are hurting, frustrated and tired. This thread isn't about making you feel guilty, or making you aware. It's a call to action. Show solidarity. Show you care. Show you understand our pain, dealing with racism daily impacting our lives & lives of our loved ones.
Don't make your Aboriginal friends/ colleagues do the tiresome work of educating you on what action to take. Research for yourselves. Take some responsibility & initiative to right the wrongs that have happened & continue to happen on the stolen land that you proudly call home.
