Tasmania’s Sovereignty, Our Future event

This annual Invasion Day event calls for an end to the Race Based ”Australia Day celebrations”. Our event began many years ago in Launceston consisting of 200 Aboriginal youth and now attracts thousands in Nipaluna/Hobart and hundreds in Limilinaturi/Devonport.

“The turnout was strong, and the spirits were high. We had traditional performances, speeches from local leaders, and a march through the city to bring awareness to the ongoing impacts of colonisation. It was a powerful day for our community.”
