It’s @AIMEmentoring’s National Hoodie Day today. They’re supporting indigenous kids to achieve things lots of non-indigenous Australians take for granted.

There are some bloody amazing non-profits out there doing bloody amazing things with reconciliation projects.

I love NGOs — they focus so much energy (and time and money) on so many good things.

But they can’t do it all on their own. I know we’d share views on the importance of government action on a fair few things.

In relation to indigenous social justice, the list of things you need to address that is in this article from The Drum may seem controversial … But you know what?

I don’t actually think they’re controversial at all:

1. Reparations for the Stolen Generations
2. Closing the Gap
3. Stolen Wages
4. NT intervention
5. Constitutional Recognition
6. UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People
7. Moving Australia Day

They are gosh-darn basic. No argument.

What’ll be more controversial is if you don’t act (or get it wrong).

Let me know what you think.

Cheers
