Hi <<First Name>>,
 
We hope you are all ok! 

It is a difficult time for everyone and especially the most vulnerable people in our communities. 

Even though we are restricted from many of the usual forms of helping, we would encourage you to look at the suggestions below to connect online and create change from home.

Also, if you are able, please consider donating to support the essential services still being carried out by the likes of:
  • UnitingCare West and CARAD.
  • Please also consider contributing to support the development work of our International Partners through UnitingWorld. Our international partners are also struggling to deal with this crisis and have a very limited capacity to cope. 
Were you able to join us online for the ARRCC WA Multi-faith Climate Forum yesterday? If you missed it you can still have a look at the recording online here.

Make sure you don't miss our next major online event this Sunday! Join us online for the Palm Sunday Walk for Justice - 1.00pm Sunday 5 April.

Lastly, a note of thanks and farewell to the wonderful Kate Leaney who has been working here in the Social Justice Unit for the last couple of years. Kate has taken a great role with Welcoming Australia back in her home state of South Australia and so, sadly for us, has finished up her role here. We will miss her immensely but wish her all the best in her new job. Thanks Kate for all your dedication, support and compassion.

For the sake of justice and peace,

Geoff.

The Uniting Church Synod of Western Australia acknowledges the Wadjuk people of the Noongar nation, on whose land our Synod office stands. We acknowledge their elders past and present, and their people.

At its 7th Assembly the Uniting Church formally entered into a relationship of Covenant with its Indigenous members, recognising and repenting for the Church’s complicity in the injustices perpetrated on Australia’s Indigenous community, and pledging to move forward with a shared future. Congress’ generous response to this statement, among other messages, called upon the broader Church to take up the mission of reconciliation.

The ongoing and continually renewing nature of the Covenant calls the Uniting Church to continually act to remove the systems and structures of discrimination and oppression in Australia.The Uniting Church works for just, inclusive and equal relationships, recognising the place of First Peoples in Australia.
