You are invited to the launch of Passing the Message Stick, a groundbreaking message research project to find the messages that build widespread support for transformative change in First Nations communities.
Just months out from the referendum, big conversations are happening across the nation about our colonial history, and our shared vision for our future – one that centres First Nations justice, truth telling and self determination.
As allies, we know that when it comes to First Nations justice, it’s First Nations communities who have the solutions and know what their communities need. It’s time for us to take their lead – from land rights to stopping black deaths in custody, fighting racism and inequality, keeping kids in community, as well as treaties, truth telling and representation.
That’s why we’ve spent the past 8 months researching the most persuasive messages to build widespread support for transformative policy change that centres First Nations-led expertise and solutions, including how to build public momentum and political will for more ambitious change both now and beyond the referendum.
Designed for advocates from across civil society, the briefing will include an overview of the moment we’re in, analysis of our research findings, as well practical recommendations and advice for your own messaging.
