aus blm allies resource sharing doc

Wherever we are in this country we respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land and their elders past, present and future. We would like to acknowledge that this land- which we benefit from occupying- was stolen, and that sovereignty was never ceded. And we commit, as allies to co...

For those of us in Australia, it’s easy to support the Black Lives Matter movement from afar, and ignore the violent problems that run rampant in our own back yard. This amazing document was shared by a friend of mine on Facebook and is an amazing guide to better educate yourself on racism in Australia and how to be a proactive and supportive ally in the wider community. 

There are links to funds and relief support for Indigenous Australians, for funds and individuals, if you’re able to donate. There are links to petitions concerning police brutaliaty, land rights, health inequality, and Invasion Day, as well as a reading list, helplines, and links to Indigenous-owned businesses and arts organisations. 

If you’re in Australia (or would like to learn about how Black Lives Matter can be supported in Australia) please take the time to give this a read.

(I didn’t make this doc, it was written by four Australian WoC)

just wondering.. why are broadway fans so afraid to admit that broadway is racist

[multi-fandom-freak-15-deactivat]

Gonna have to disagree with this. 

Dear Evan Hansen has black actors / actresses. Hamilton has black actors/actresses. 

And soo many more Broadway musicals. They seem to not be racist to me

[afterastorms-deactivated2022051]

no 💗 i don’t think you understand my point so here are some facts 💗

deh has one (1) continuously Black-casted principle character and she wasn’t even Black in the original production in DC 💗

hamilton is one (1) show 💗

shows like deh, wicked, mean girls, and more have more BIPOC as understudies/covers, replacements and ensemble than they do as principle actors, meaning that they have no desire to cast BIPOC unless they absolutely have to (such as when a white actor calls out) 💗

there are currently zero Black-owned broadway theaters 💗

if broadway was not racist than BIPOC artists would not need to form movements and organizations such as the Broadway for Racial Justice, the Broadway Diversity Project,  We See You, White American Theatre, and the Broadway Advocacy Coalition, among many others that have been joined by BIPOC and white allies alike 💗

deh and hamilton both have predominantly male and non-Black creative teams 💗

“Broadway Is Racist” 

having Black actors in your cast for diversity points doesn’t count as anti-racism 💗

having Black friends doesn’t make you anti-racist 💗

Bringing this gem back

Black Lives Matter

[seongpinkhwa]

what a nice time to remember that an officer in new south wales is currently being investigated for tripping an indigenous teenager and slamming his face onto bricks, therefore solidifying the fact that australians are fucking hypocrites when they look at the george floyd murder and go “at least that doesn’t happen here”!

[seongpinkhwa]

educate yourselves before making any insensitive comments because at this point everyone is sick of your performative wokeness.

resources to educate yourself on institutional racism in australia: 

aboriginal deaths being brought to light during the BLM movement in perth

institutional racism in the healthcare sector

racism and how it plays a hand in so many aboriginal deaths in custody

keynote speech discussing how aboriginals are marginalized on different levels

racism in aboriginal australia: discussing the term “racist” in australia

FOREWARNING: this post and the following links contain the names of people who have passed.

A lot of Australians seem to feel detached from what’s going on in the States right now, including our idiot prime minister (who had the audacity to tell us not to “import things happening in other countries here to Australia”) but there is a similar BLM/Indigenous Lives Matter movement here protesting the unjust treatment of our indigenous population, particularly the fact that 432 indigenous deaths have occurred in police custody since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal deaths, and that “not a single police officer in any criminal jurisdiction in the Commonwealth has ever been convicted of any offence relating to an Aboriginal death in custody”.

Additionally, I think it’s important to note:

incarceration rates are disproportional to the percentage of the population Indigenous Australians represent (27% IR despite being only 2% of the population)

Aboriginal people in the prison system/out of home care are being disproportionately affected by COVID-19 restrictions

that there Have been protests/noise made against cases of police brutality against indigenous population as recent as 2019 (1 2 3)

that THIS year police put indigenous children under “preventative” surveillance

These last two links are updated Guardian pieces about the 432 indigenous deaths that have occurred in custody (which, again, there have been no convictions for), the last one in particular I think is a good reference.

I want to note that I’m not indigenous myself and this is just a collection of information I’ve found or read in the past few weeks that I’ve found important.

I’ve been asked a ton about how to stay up to date with BLM protests around Australia and find out when they’re happening/promote specific events. Given there’s no central source of information that I’m aware of to keep up to date with all of them please reblog this post with a link to Facebook events/pages/websites and give details about time/location for events so people can easily find one in their area.

It is with total sadness I hear the news that the founder of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, and ACT-UP, writer and playwright Larry Kramer has died at the age of 84, we are surely poorer without him. Every gay person in America owes him our very lives.
