This is a big week for Treaty in Victoria, with the state-wide Treaty being debated in the Victorian Parliament from Tuesday morning.
This a key time for ally organisations to activate in support of Treaty.
The following information comes from the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria (FPAV) and explains how you can show your active support for the Treaty process. While the ALP, Greens, Animal Justice Party and Legalise Cannabis Victoria all support Treaty it is important that we pressure the Coalition to also show support for the process in parliament.
Here’s how you can show your support for Treaty over the coming week:
