Common Threads: 2025 Kick Off Call

Join us for the Common Threads: 2025 kick off call

The world is shifting fast, and hard-fought rights are under threat. With a federal election ahead, this is a crucial moment for First Nations justice—one that will shape our future for years to come.

Now more than ever, we need to get organised, collaborate, and stand strong together. That’s why we’re inviting you to Common Threads: 2025 kick off call —a Zoom gathering where we’ll connect, share concerns, and explore how we can support each other in the year ahead.

Date: Monday, 24 February
Time: 4:00 PM (AEDT)
Where: Online (Zoom)
Who: First Nations advocates, campainers and organisers (This event is First Nations people only)

This is your space to:

• Share what you’re most concerned about for 2025 and where you’re drawing your strength 
• Discuss the challenges you’re facing, opportunities and potential ways to collaborate 
• Help shape our collective action for the year ahead

Accessibility

• Zoom: We will be meeting via Zoom. A dial-in number will also be supplied in case you do not have access to a computer, or you can use the Zoom phone app (iOS | Android).  See here for accessibility documentation for Zoom; including list of keyboard shortcuts here. 
• Resources: During the call, we will use the screen share function to share slides.
• Early access to slides: A view-only version of the slide deck can be supplied early if this supports your participation. Any copies of the slides provided will include alt-text / image descriptions. Please mention this in the ‘access needs’ question when registering. 
• Breaks: We will take a 5 minute break roughly halfway through the webinar.
• Captions: We will have auto captions enabled in Zoom. 
• Breakout rooms: This call will have 1-2 breakouts where you will be put in small groups for discussion. 
• Auslan interpretation: If you need Auslan interpreters, please let us know when registering. Because of the high demand for interpreters, we cannot guarantee interpreters will be booked if registering in the 48 hours before the call. 
• Chat: This training includes use of the chat function in Zoom. Participants will be asked to introduce themselves in chat, and to enter responses in the chat throughout the webinar, including to ask questions of the speakers. However, use of the chat function is not essential for participation in this call.

When you register for the event, we will ask if you have any access needs. If you need something in place that is not already arranged, or if you need more information about any part of the event, we will work with you to provide that.
