Systemic abuse of Black people isn’t just an issue in the USA. Australia was founded on it and the abuse continues today. Since 1991, 432 Indigenous people have died in police custody. Indigenous Australians are the most incarcerated people on earth - they make up 2% of the Australian population but 28% of the adult prison population.

As non indigenous Australians it is our responsibility to listen, educate ourselves and others, and dismantle the systemic oppression, racism and the continuing injustices against the Aboriginal people of this land. The issues are deep and widespread, not clear to see for those not experiencing the suffering; and often painful to look at as it takes an admission of ignorance and complicity.
