Two of the BPU’s most committed organisers are at breaking point after a traumatic 18 months. These are good, hardworking people who have given everything to the community, and right now, they need the community to have their backs.

A recent act of financial abuse has left them in crisis, forcing them to cover urgent costs for accommodation, relocation, and medical needs. We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to help them regain stability.

Please donate what you can and share this fundraiser widely. Solidarity is everything.

The BPU* have installed a new Aboriginal Tent Embassy** in Naarm (Melbourne).

It's been set up at "Kings Domain" Park, which was the site of Camp Sovereignty***.

They've set up tents, a fire site, and have every intention to hold the space indefinitely.

This is an Aboriginal act of resistance, directed and performed by Aboriginal people in defiance of Australia Day****.

Please consider donating to the BPU to support this action - https://www.blackpeoplesunion.org/donate
