The Uniting Church sees the First Peoples’ Voice proposal as an important opportunity for our nation. In supporting a Voice to Parliament in our constitution, we are recognising and celebrating the First Peoples of Australia and establishing a lasting means to listen to First Nations voices and insights. This can make a practical difference in meeting the challenges faced by First Nations communities and be the next step for our nation in walking together into a better future.

This weekend, thousands of supporters for a ‘Yes’ vote in the referendum , including many Uniting Church members, will “Walk for Yes” in events across the country that aim to uplift and mobilise support for a First Nations Voice.

Uniting Church community members are encouraged to show their support by joining a Walk for Yes if they can, or to show their solidarity across the weekend in other ways.

*To join the Uniting Church contingent at the Sydney Walk for Yes, meet at the Artillery Gun in the Redfern St/Elizabeth St corner of Redfern Park (51 Redfern St, Redfern) at 1.30pm Sun 17 September.*
