We’re so excited to launch this broadcast series produced and presented by formerly incarcerated women. In a society that heavily discriminates against people who have been criminalised, treating them as disposable and unworthy, we wanted to provide opportunities for formerly incarcerated people to be heard and listened to with respect curiosity, empathy and understanding. Catch the first episode of ‘Untold Stories of Injustice’ at 9am this Friday or catch up later online. Thanks to Humanists Victoria for their financial support of this project.

Come along THIS Wednesday night to catch up with friends and comrades at the 3CR-Rising Tide screening of The First Wave. The evening includes speakers, a screening and time to catch up and learn about how YOU can be part of the 2024 Blockade in November up in Newcastle. 7pm, at CERES in Brunswick – see you there! Hosted by 3CR and Rising Tide, entry by donation. Tea, coffee and snacks will be served. Please RSVP here.
