What does it mean to stand in solidarity with one another today? And how do we turn that commitment into meaningful relationships, collective action and lasting change?

Throughout Australia’s LGBTQIA+ history, solidarity has been central to movements for recognition, equality and social justice. From the early days of gay liberation and the HIV/AIDS crisis to contemporary struggles for dignity, inclusion and belonging, people and communities have come together to support one another and create change.

But solidarity is never simply a matter of history. It’s something we practise, question, negotiate and renew in our everyday lives.

As part of In Solidarity, What Does Solidarity Look Like Today? brings together diverse voices to explore the opportunities and challenges of standing together across communities, cultures, identities and generations.

How do we build meaningful alliances? What does genuine allyship require? How do we listen to experiences different from our own, recognise our shared interests and support each other’s aspirations?

And at a time of significant social, cultural and political change, what can we learn from the past as we consider the future we want to create together?

This final conversation in our series invites thoughtful reflection, open dialogue and fresh perspectives on the values and relationships that connect us.

Join a small live audience for an engaging discussion, with opportunities for questions and participation.

The conversation will be recorded for subsequent broadcast on 2SER, sharing these ideas and perspectives beyond the event.

Audience places are limited. Advance registration is encouraged.

Come along, share the conversation and help explore what solidarity can mean for all of us.

Stand with us to honour the voices that brought us here and work with us to shape the voices and values of our future.
