🖤💛❤️ TIME FOR A TRUTH-TELLING AND JUSTICE COMMISSION IN WA – PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE 👉 https://bit.ly/3MA0sCj
Earlier this week one of our Jan 26 truth-telling video participants, Heidi Mippy, launched a petition calling for the establishment of a Truth-Telling and Justice Commission in WA.
Globally there have been numerous Truth Commissions, most notably in South Africa after apartheid. The Commission would have the same powers as a Royal Commission and would look into the historical and ongoing injustices experienced by First Nations peoples in the state.
The Commission would be able to make broad recommendations about practical actions and reforms needed to address systemic racial issues and ensure services and systems are designed and operated in a culturally safe way.
The process would be trauma-informed, based on justice and self-determination, and would allow First Nations peoples’ experiences to be acknowledged. It is also an opportunity for First Nations peoples to share their culture, heritage, and resilience with broader society.
Join Senator Dorinda Cox and Dr Brad Pettitt MLC in calling on the Cook Government to adopt our recommendations for an independent, statutory Truth-Telling and Justice Commission, with the powers of a Royal Commission.
