#EdieShepherd notes that their big campaigns are interconnected, all underpinned by the same colonisation, racism, imposition of restrictive ideas of what is valued. "We don't have laws that protect our sacred sites and heritage."

#TareqArani explains to #FWDorg how @wearepushblack builds its audience and their trust by sending stories they love and care about. With that relationship of trust, their readers are empowered to believe in their capacity to be organisers in their own communities.

@Kmoeti celebrates @ausprogress #FWDorg and not giving in to shutting out the world against COVID, instead looking at how working together makes us powerful. What will help us get through crisis is love, deepened connection, and understanding our fates are intertwined. ❤️👏
