The Geelong waterfront leg of the Yoorrook (meaning truth) Justice Commission’s Walk For Truth happened this morning. A great crowd joined Yoorrook Deputy Commissioner Travis Lovett, Kerrupmara Gunditjmara, in the sunshine as he continues his walk from Portland, where Victorian colonisation began, to Parliament in Melbourne.
“As Victoria’s first formal truth-telling process, over the past four years Yoorrook has heard powerful truths from people right across the state, giving evidence on the impacts of colonisation, including systemic injustice, as well as the strength, resistance and achievements of First Peoples.” ( https://yoorrookjusticecommission.org.au/events/walkfortruth/#what )
The walk aims to bring all people together, to hear those truths, and move forward together to transform our future.
