@SophieTrevitt So incredibly sad to hear this news though I know she continues to hold space alongside us and that her strength will support us as we continue to fight the good fight and improve outcomes for children and young people.

To the uncountable everyone that loved her and were inspired by her: this little legend, this total legend, the kindest, the bravest, the most ridiculous, the best, our hero, our most precious one:

We hit 100 responses on Tuesday & would love to reach 250 by Friday - pls encourage C&YP aged 5-24 years who live/study/work/play sport in the ACT to complete our survey... even if they haven't seen or experienced racism, we're keen 2 know what can be done abt it

If you know a child or young person aged 5-24 years who lives, studies, works or plays sport in the ACT, we would love to hear their views about racism through our survey - they can scan the QR code, use the url, or go to actkids.act.gov.au

This year's Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Children's Day theme of 'My Dreaming, My Future' celebrates the important role of culture, family, community and song-lines in strengthening children as they shape their own futures... #alwayswasalwayswillbe

Our survey is live! If u know a child or young person (aged 5-24) who lives/works/studies/plays sport in the ACT, pls encourage them 2 share their views on racism... or they can have their say in their way thru our Young Thinker Forum at actkids.act.gov.au

Since March, we've been talking with C&YP abt racism in the ACT. This is what the C&YP we've spoken 2 told us racism means 2 them. But what does it mean to other C&YP? From tmw, C&YP can share their thoughts thru our survey or our Young Thinker Forum (actkids.act.gov.au)

Over the past month, we've been talking with children & young ppl abt racism. Check out some of what we've heard so far. There’s still plenty of time 4 C&YP to tell us what they think. Check out the last slide if u know a child/young person who might like 2 share their views.

A good step in the right direction Tasmania… keeping kids out of prison is only the first step albeit a significant one to raising the age of criminal responsibility. 10 years is simply too young and fails to acknowledge the evidence.

Hey ACT children and young people! Today is World Oceans Day. Being an inland city, the ocean might not be at the front of our minds, but it still has a huge impact on us, and our practices can impact it. Find out more and vote in the #oceansmackdown at worldoceanday.org/smackdown

Today is Mabo Day and the 30th anniversary of the Mabo decision. One small change we can all make during Reconciliation Week is to learn more about this important day, and its significance for the cultural rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

I've been off socials the last few days but now I'm back, I'm super excited to let you know the May edition of Rights in ACTion is out! It's focused on voting rights in Australia and around the world. Check it out at hrc.act.gov.au/wp-content/upl…

Today we acknowledge the great strength of Stolen Generations Survivors & the pain caused by racist policies from the past & their continuing impact in the present. We can all play a part in the healing process by reflecting on our own attitudes & biases. Be Brave, Make Change!

We know what it will take to keep children out of prison. We have the road-map and we need to act now so that children get support, not sentencing. #raisetheage @change_record @youthco
