Where I Stand
‘You love them’
That was the immediate response from our seven-year-old this week when I asked what she thinks when she sees someone who looks different to her.
It was heartening amidst the pain and anguish caused by systemic injustice in the United States. The severe lack of integrity, leadership and compassion at the highest levels of office in the US also defies belief.
We face similar issues in our country but we, as the unaffected majority, are yet to fully acknowledge the ongoing hurt and harm that our indigenous brothers and sisters face. That’s why so many Australian’s are peacefully protesting this weekend, to try and get us all to acknowledge this uncomfortable truth.
Sad, frustrated and sorry, I’m writing to share how I plan to step up my effort to normalise equality. Because the events surrounding us remind me that I’m not doing enough and remaining silent isn’t good enough. Because black lives matter.
