Groundswell Grants

2023

40000

This grant supported Running Water Community Press to amplify First Nations voices in the fight for water justice at Ali Curung. Through the Ali Curung Water Justice Project, the team produced a short film, community statement and a series of testimonials opposing the Singleton Station groundwater licence, while supporting advocacy through media, public events and government submissions. The work helped bring Traditional Owners’ concerns about water, Country and cultural heritage into public, political and legal conversations.

Wherever we are in this country, we are on Country.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to the cultures, knowledge and stories they carry. That knowledge comes from tens of thousands of years of living with, caring for and protecting Country. It is why, for us, climate action cannot be separated from Country or from First Nations leadership, and why we are committed to listening, learning and backing First Nations-led climate action.
