As the noise continues and racist rhetoric unfolds across the continent, Race Matters will be deferring our platform entirely to First Nations activist and community groups to amplify nuances beyond the yes/no rhetoric of The Voice and to centre complex and healing dialogues. 

This week, we hear from Kieran and Dan from Black People's Union: a revolutionary organisation that aims to empower Indigenous people in Australia through the pursuit of full self-determination and sovereignty. They chatted through the BPU's objection to the voice and its links to an illegal, racist constitution; the problem with leftists and white progressives, plus tangible ways forward to sovereignty. 

Learn more about BPU, and if you're in Naarm, catch their live event and fundraiser, Sovereignty in the Time of the Voice with Shiralee Hood, Lidia Thorpe, Dr Chelsea Watego alongside Kieran; happening on September 28th - details here.
