Are we doing enough to make a variety of voices heard, and understood, in our movement? Do we alienate potential supporters without even realising it? And in light of the Black Lives Matter protests in the US and here, are we part of the solution for racial justice?

Join us online to hear how we can reach new communities and strengthen our people-powered movement.
