As we mark Reconciliation Day in the ACT, Hands Across Canberra is proud to stand in solidarity with First Nations people throughout the ACT and work together for a better, fairer Canberra for us all. It's a good fit for this year's Reconciliation Week theme, "All in".
At HAC, we look for projects and partners who build strength, resilience and self sufficiency, focusing on healing, reconciliation and a positive future. We recognise that Aboriginal people in Canberra often have very poor outcomes in juvenile and adult detention, child removal and other areas where they are vastly over represented by comparison with the ACT's general population.
That's not good enough for the most prosperous and best educated jurisdiction in Australia, but together with partners like @YedungMura, @YerrabiYurwang, and others we can create change. Thank you to the wise elders who guide us in Canberra – leaders like Selina Walker, Violet Sheridan, Caroline Hughes AM, Wally Bell, Richie Allan and so many more who work hard for justice and dignity.
