Join campaign to email to your local MP asking them to help end the war in Gaza

As we enter the fourth month of the war in Gaza with more than 25,000 Palestinians killed, thousands of whom are children, we renew our call for an urgent, permanent ceasefire agreement that will put a stop to these atrocities. This must include the return by Hamas and its allies of all hostages still held in Gaza. 

Click HERE to send an email to your local MP either in your own words or the template email provided on the linked page to advocate for strong diplomatic action by the Australian Government to help end the war in Gaza.

Thank you for your support. We request you to share this campaign with your friends, family and networks.

WHY A FIRST NATIONS VOICE MATTERS - "NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US"

Once again the latest Productivity Commission report on Closing The Gap policy outcomes has shown that governments across the country are failing Indigenous communities by taking a business-as-usual and "government knows best" approach.
The report, released earlier today, accuses the federal government of “weak” action on key areas, not fulfilling its promises and a “disregard” for the suggestions of Indigenous communities. It says efforts to eliminate institutional racism in areas such as justice and health have “received little effort”.
These latest findings are evidence of why a Voice to Parliament in policy development and implementation is so important, and why the Edmund Rice Centre will continue to advocate in partnership with our First Nations brothers and sisters for the fundamental changes needed to ensure a thriving future for all.
