Take action in your community
We need your help
We’re proud to call for a better, more just world where the voices of people positively influence the systems, decisions and resources that affect those most in need.
We want a society where there is justice and equality and where the voices of people experiencing poverty, disadvantage and discrimination are sought, heard, valued and acted upon so that all people can live in peace and dignity.
