The fuel crisis is hitting everyone hard, including charities like ours. It’s costing more to source food, more to transport it and more to keep our services running.
With 4,000 people seeking asylum depending on us each month, we urgently need your support today: https://pulse.ly/waxohtcglq

We appreciate your support in pushing for fairness and permanent protection for refugees who call Australia home.

We’re funding national research to build tools to push back against hate.

Remember today as the day Labor and the Liberals teamed up to rush through new powers to block refugees from fleeing to safety, from the very conflicts Australia is following the US into.
"Let me say the quiet part out loud..." @kkarapanagiotidis.bsky.social speaks to ABC Drive radio about the Government's new Migration Bill.
☎️ CALL YOUR SENATOR TO BLOCK THE BILL ☎️

Comment from Deputy CEO, Jana Favero, on the Coalition’s leaked immigration plans:
“The Coalition’s leaked immigration plans are a blueprint for racism and discrimination. Targeting people based on where they come from will divide families and strip people of basic rights..."

January 26 is not a day to celebrate. It is a day of invasion - and a day of survival, resistance, and mourning. It is a day we come together to stand with First Nations peoples across this continent, to tell the truth and demand justice.
#NotADateToCelebrate #InvasionDay
Today and always, we stand in solidarity with First Nations communities.

The ASRC is in solidarity with the entire Iranian community.
We acknowledge the grief, suffering and stress on the community with the current situation in Iran.
We will not forget Iran and will always advocate for human rights, justice, freedom and equality for all people.
It’s time to end offshore detention.
Exposing people to cruelty, isolation and trauma has never made anyone safer - it only punishes people who need protection.
Let's leave cruelty behind. Call on your MP to put an end to Labor's brutal offshore detention regime: https://pulse.ly/3xah1pljq1 📧

@mon4kooyong.bsky.social asking the question on all our minds today in Parliament.
The Albanese Government's secret, wasteful and cruel Nauru deal is not our national interest - and it doesn't align with our shared values.
It's time for the cruel offshore detention regime to end.
WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING? This suggests the gov knew of corruption allegations against Nauruan President before signing the new deportation deal.
We need a Royal Commission into Offshore Processing to uncover what successive governments knew about corruption & cruelty
