Disability Day 2024 - artwork by Renay Barker-Mulholland

Catch 12 hours of programming on Tuesday 3 December for International Day of People with Disability. This year’s theme is EMBODIED SOLIDARITIES. How can we better practice solidarity with each other as fellow disabled people of different backgrounds and abilities, locally and across borders, at a time in humankind’s existence where mass-disabling violence is increasing? How can non-disabled people better practice solidarity with us? Listen in as we reflect and explore through conversation, music, and more. Check out all the details here.

Untold Stories of Injustice

We’re so excited to launch this broadcast series produced and presented by formerly incarcerated women. In a society that heavily discriminates against people who have been criminalised, treating them as disposable and unworthy, we wanted to provide opportunities for formerly incarcerated people to be heard and listened to with respect curiosity, empathy and understanding. Catch the first episode of ‘Untold Stories of Injustice’ at 9am this Friday or catch up later online. Thanks to Humanists Victoria for their financial support of this project.
