The racialised narrative surrounding Covid-19 has sparked a surge in racial abuse targeting People of Colour.Whether it's a new poll finding almost one third of Australians blame the Chinese community for the pandemic. Or a study by the Migrant Worker Justice Initiative revealing a quarter of Australia's international students faced racial abuse during the pandemic. Or an Asian Australian Alliance survey collecting more than 500 stories from people of colour of coronavirus-related racial abuse within a few months.People of Colour are experiencing a surge of racially motivated attacks. That's why we're launching regular Resisting Racism workshops to further equip People of Colour with the skills- strategy & community to be powerful changemakers.This free 3 hour interactive online workshop will cover the fundamentals of advocacy for people of colour- including:Campaign strategy: what is a campaign- campaign strategy overview- how to create a winning strategy- difference between strategy & tacticsStrategic communications: messaging- framing- communication frameworksOrganising: building power through peopleDigital: using digital tools to create changeSelf-care techniques to deepen personal resilience to racismParticipants will leave with the foundational tools to change hearts- minds- public policy and corporate behaviour in a moment of increased racial abuse targeting People of Colour.This workshop is free and open to people who identify as First Nations- Black or a Person of Colour.Special thanks to the City of Sydney whose generous support has made these workshops possible.

Welcome to Bakarindi Bush Foods online store. Some years ago we moved from Woolgoolga to follow our passion for native plants.This led us to the Back of Corindi Beach to a property that has been in our friends family for over 100 years. After a major clean up (still ongoing) we planted our first 3 Finger Limes along with other native fruit trees and some exotics.We now have 100's of Finger Lime trees- Riberries- along with a small patch of Lemon and Aniseed Myrtle and Rosella Flowers. The planting is ongoing with Davidson Plums both NSW and Queensland varieties added. The garlic and chillies used in our products are also grown on the property.Our home is situated on a small rise with views from the kitchen (where the creating occurs) over the trees to the ocean. We have always made homemade relishes- chutneys and jams- we now employ our daughter Jemah to carry the passion into the future.A decision was made to take the products both traditional and bush foods to the public through various markets and now our online store. We love giving tastings and explaining the benefits of eating native foods and how good they can taste.

Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative's primary goal is to promote Aboriginal Artists whose language groups exist in the NSW state boundaries. We support- promote- educate and protect copyright for our members. Boomalli strives to improve access for Aboriginal Artists from both regional and metropolitan NSW. Boomalli has a current membership base of 50 Artists. Approximately a third are emerging Artists and over half of our membership consists of regional Artists. Our key philosophy is to assist Aboriginal Artists from NSW with a divergent and professional skill set- that can only be derived from first hand experience. The installation- promotion and delivery of artwork to the Co-operative is a fundamental foundation for the success not only of the individual Artists- but allows for a wider net of success for the Co-operative as a whole. Our aims are to enhance and embrace new opportunities for NSW language group Artist members. We work diligently to support our regional Artists specifically to assist in supporting them in the social equity space.

Double Bridge Farm is a not for profit Indigenous organisation located in Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of NSW. The organisation facilitates an Indigenous Women's Sewing Group that comes together weekly to make the products we sell at the markets. The Indigenous Women's Sewing Group is supportive of each other and enhances the importance of health and well being within our community. The ladies in our group research items they would like to make and everyone assists in the process of making a product. The large choices of Aboriginal fabrics inspires the group to create and share their creative knowledge to the broader community.
