Climate justice & sovereignty — the Gomeroi/Gamilaraay fight to protect Country
Event description
Join us to hear from Gomeroi/Gamilaraay people who are fighting against extraction and to protect Country for future generations.
This panel of grassroots organisers, community leaders, and land and water defenders will speak to current efforts to stop fracking in the Pilliga and the building of new coal mines in the floodplains. We'll hear about different strategies and avenues for resistance, and the broader relationship between climate justice and Aboriginal sovereignty.
This will be the inaugural webinar of Community Legal Centre NSW’s Change Takes Community public webinar series, which will spotlight grassroots responses to injustice and community-based visions for a fairer future.
This session is free and open to all to attend.

Ian Brown, Gomeroi man and campaigner with Gamilaraay Next Generation, an activist collective of young Gomeroi/Gamilaraay people fighting to protect Country.
