About the Event
At this special event on Indigenous Literacy Day, activist Thomas Mayo will share a powerful reflection on the ongoing fight for justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wake of the failed Voice to Parliament referendum.
Mayo will draw on the messages outlined in his new book, Always Was, Always Will Be: The Campaign for Justice and Recognition Continues, which maps the path forward for Indigenous and non-Indigenous supporters of the Voice towards a better future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Mayo will be joined by host Shelley Ware and individuals who were involved in the referendum campaign, to explore how we can renew the momentum of reconciliation in Australia.
