Join us in Canberra for our August Cause Club! This month we're having a crafty afternoon of zine making and showing up in purple to celebrate Wear It Purple Day in support of Minus18.

The heart of it: Everyone is encouraged to wear purple and join us making zines in celebration of Wear It Purple's 2026 theme: Colours of Courage. We're coming together to proudly let the young queer community that they are loved and supported.

Heads up: Please wear something purple if you can (shirt, socks, headband, nail polish, eyeshadow, badge, anything!). Also bring along a magazine that can be used to make your zine - and if you want to bring in any photos of queer icons, even better.

Our group mission is to:

📒 Make zines celebrating the queer community

💜 Wear purple to send a message to the queer youth that they are loved and supported

🧠 Learn more about Minus18 and the work they do to improve the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth

WHEN
Saturday 15 August 2:00pm - 3:30pm

The event will start at 2:00pm, so please try to arrive as close to then as possible. We don't want you to miss out!

WHERE
Salthouse Community Centre
Henty St, Braddon ACT 2612

About Minus18: Minus18 are on a mission to create an Australia where all young people are safe, empowered, and surrounded by people that support them.
