While millions rally against the marginalisation and discrimination of Black, Indigenous and minority ethnic communities, Refugee Week took place around the country, examining issues of race and injustice in relation to the ‘refugee experience’. On June 20, we marked World Refugee Day, a day to honour, raise awareness and solicit support for the millions of people who find themselves displaced, seeking asylum, and living as refugees throughout the world.
This year’s theme was, fittingly, ‘Every action counts: Everyone can make a difference.’ So, that’s exactly what we did! Thanks to you, we were able to donate $2,400 to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC), Australia’s leading human rights organisation providing support to people seeking asylum. From mobilising a community of compassion to create lasting social and policy change, we love the ASRC and what they stand for. The good news is that it’s not too late to contribute to the ASRC’s World Refugee Day Telethon! And if you didn’t yet get a chance, we highly recommend checking out the Refugee Council of Australia’s week-long storytelling and culture sharing extravaganza.
