We cannot achieve real accountability on issues of racism, police brutality, deaths in custody, the mass incarceration of our people without continuing to have our voices heard loud and clear in public.
Imagine standing up for justice when the world is in chaos. Taylah Gray, a determined law student, did just that. In the midst of the pandemic, while the world watched in horror at the deaths of George Floyd and David Dungay Junior, Taylah took a bold stand. She spearheaded the Black Lives Matter protest in Newcastle, navigating legal hurdles to secure a protest permit. Her journey took her all the way to The Supreme Court in Sydney.
Would she succeed against all odds? Taylah's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of raising our voices against racism and police brutality. Through her involvement in the Yipug program, she learned about indigenous strengths and used this knowledge to lead with confidence. This episode of 'Days Like These' isn't just about a protest; it's about resilience, courage, and the fight for accountability. It's a must-listen for anyone who believes in the power of standing up for what's right.
