I think it’s really important for me to let y’all know that I won’t be celebrating Australia Day on the 26th of Jan. It’s really important for me as a white person with a platform to let y’all know and to spread some awareness so hopefully others can do the same,
It’s not Australia Day, it’s the day Australia was invaded, it’s the day that Indigenous Australian lives were disrupted, destroyed and defiled in horrific ways. So if you’re Australian, and your considering celebrating on the 26th, don’t.
It costs us absolutely nothing to respect and honour the request of those who’s land we live on, and it doesn’t hurt us to not celebrate on that day. It only hurts those who have suffered enough.

Some useful info for those who want to argue that we should continue to celebrate Australia Day on the 26th of Jan.
