Community Connections & Creating Change Reading group
Come and join Climate Justice Union and Kwinana Public Library for an evening of connection and reflection on Tuesday, Oct 20.
Throughout the year the Community Connections & Creating Change Reading Group has met to bring curious minds together, and approached the reading group like a meal with friends.
To round out the year, we are partnering with the Library's Local History Talks for a potluck, where we discuss "From Our History to the Future We Want".
Bring along a plate of food to share (if you can), as well as a story, song, poem or something else that connects the past to the future you want to see, chat about it with others, and reflect on how we can learn from our history to create our future.
Everyone is welcome, you do not need to have attended any previous Kwinana Book Club or Local History Talk sessions.
Can't join in person? Online access is also available, RSVP essential. Please contact us for more information.
Not sure what to bring? We will share these materials together as a starting point.

Tuesday 20 October
5.45pm to 7pm
We acknowledge that we begin our work as The Climate Justice Union on the Boodja (land) of the Wadjuk people of the Noongar Nation. We honour the Wadjuk people and their kin in other Nations and Country across these lands and waters, who have always cared for this place and all who lived here.
We acknowledge First Nations Elders past and present, and acknowledge that those of us living here, who came from across the seas, live on land that was taken, stolen. We acknowledge the responsibility that comes with this understanding and that we personally and collectively benefit from this theft.
As such, we all have a responsibility to decolonise ourselves, our lives and work, and to heal the harm these oppressive systems have inflicted.
