Why
Stand in solidarity & goodwill with First Nations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) peoples on this day to mark Invasion Day, a Day of Mourning and Survival.
Join us! 88 years since the first Day of Mourning, community will come together, to acknowledge and pay respects to those who have marched before.
Invasion Day is a day of inclusion, bringing together all genders, all ages, all backgrounds, and in a way that acknowledges the injustice that 26 January represents. It signifies the continued struggle First Nations peoples and indeed the broader Australian community endure. It honours those giants that walked this path before and have done since 1938. It's on the shoulders of these giants that we stand today.
This year is the Sunshine Coast's 4th Invasion Day procession. Come and be part of history. We know there are over 1.2 million First Nations allies in Queensland and this is your call to action!
