More than hashtag

Social justice is more than a hashtag.

After the recent death of George Floyd and the raised awareness around deaths of indigenous Australians in custody I thought I’d put together some of the links I’ve come across so together we can make sure we do more than share a hashtag. I acknowledge there is more to addressing systemic issues of racism and injustice than signing a petition or making a donation so let’s not stop here
