As we mark National Reconciliation Week, this year's theme, 'Now More Than Ever,' reminds us of the necessary ongoing fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Today, on National Sorry Day, we join together to acknowledge the deep pain and trauma experienced by the Stolen Generations.
This day is a solemn reminder of the injustices faced by Indigenous Australians and a call for genuine reconciliation and healing.

Today is IDAHOT, a day that aims to coordinate international events that raise awareness of LGBTQ+SB rights violations and stimulate interest in LGBTQ+SB rights work worldwide.

This IDAHOT, please remember your LGBTIQ friends, family members, and peers. Spread kindness and love.

This week is Lesbian Visibility Week celebrating the power and achievements of our LGBTQ+SB women and gender-diverse communities.

Shout out to our staunch and solid First Nations Lesbians Everywhere!
