BEAM Mitchell Environment Group supports the Voice to the federal parliament for First
Nations people. This is a small step in the healing and justice that the Statement from the
Heart invites all Australians to embrace. The Voice, then Truth Telling and then Treaty will
further this process. The time for reconciling the reality of our hostile and cruel past, with
where we would all like to fit as Australians supporting justice, is NOW.
BEAM acknowledges the Taungurung and Wurundjeri people as the traditional owners of the land that we in BEAM live and volunteer on, and that these lands were never ceded. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
BEAM invites all our members and everyone in the wider community to embrace the
opportunity provided by this referendum process. We encourage you to learn more about the process, to talk about the importance of voting YES! with your families and friends and do what you can to make sure this referendum succeeds.
Go to www.yes23.com.au for more information and opportunities for volunteering and ways
of getting involved. Australia needs this to succeed as part of the longer path towards
reconciliation.
