Seek first to Understand...

It is not only indigenous people who need to be fighting for indigenous land ownership, reconciliation and indigenous rights.

It is not only people with a disability who need to be advocating for ramps, hearing loops and the NDIS.

It is not only gay people who get to stand up for everyone's right to an equally recognised family unit.

It is everyone's responsibility to stand up for the rights of all to be equal.

It is everyone's concern that all people from all walks of life have the same opportunities.

I encourage all people to advocate for all people.
I encourage straight people to stand up for gay and gay to stand for straight.
I encourage men to stand for women and women to stand for men.
I encourage us to stand shoulder to shoulder FOR each other and WITH each other.
No boundaries, no distinctions.
