What’s involved?
Most Australians agree there is little trust and respect between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
Many of us feel angry or guilty about the way Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians are treated.
However, there is hope. Improving the lives of Indigenous Australians is something YOU can do something about, regardless of whether you know an Indigenous person or your position in society.
A simple way to begin is to understand, acknowledge and support Indigenous culture and people, and to speak up against racism.
Sign the pledge, and we’ll send you tips on how you can do this ...
Why should people do this?
Stopping disadvantage and discrimination of Indigenous Australians requires both government policy change and individual behavioural change. It’s not just up to the government to make things better: you can do something!
When you sign the pledge, we will email you some small but important ways you can help.
Help us reach our goal of 20,000 signatures! You can sign the pledge online, or in a Body Shop store between 18 May and 7 June.
Other stuff
Once you've signed the pledge there are lots of other things you can do to be involved:
Pick up an Avant Card postcard at your local cafe, cinema or university from 20 May to late June and post it to a friend
Buy a campaign t-shirt which will advertise the campaign and also help ANTaR raise money
Become a fan of the campaign on Facebook
Download the campaign poster (PDF 200k), print it out and stick it up in your university, school, workplace, local coffee shop ... we will also send you an A2 poster if you promise to put it where lots of people will see it!
