True allies don't claim Aboriginal land

by Hamish Chitts, Scottish (MacGregor & Fraser clans)

 

Many allies of the struggle for Aboriginal sovereignty still proudly identify as being Australian. While many understand some of the history of genocide and theft on this continent they fail to understand how their Australian identity perpetuates that genocide and theft. We also need to learn and understand that the notion of being Australian and the country of Australia was not founded on feelings of independence but founded on ideas of white supremacy.

Giving Cash To The Extreme Poor

 

An international aid group is giving cash directly to the extreme poor via cheap mobile phones...

The world is an extremely unfair place with inequality at horrendous levels.

Almost one third of humanity is deprived of the most basic needs.

2.2 billion people currently live on less than $2 a day.

And of those, 1 billion live in extreme poverty, trying to survive on just $1.25 per day.

Hundreds of millions are forced to exist without access to a reliable clean water source or proper sanitation.
