"Its time for allies to step up!" The Voice explained (W/Teela Reid)

Today is a hard but incredibly important conversation. With a date finally set for the Voice to parliament referendum it is time we talk about why allies should be voting yes on October 14th.  Kath sits down with Teela Reid, a proud Wiradjuri woman, self proclaimed rebellious lawyer, and campaigner for the Uluru Statement from the Heart to chat about how this referendum came to be, the importance of it, what it will do for Aboriginal and Torres strait islander people, and how allies need to step up, not just now but always in the face of racism. Our hope is that this conversation inspires you to have a hard conversation of your own with the people around you.  Resources:  TEDx Talk by Thomas Mayo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1LGBd6HR6U&ab_channel=TEDxTalks Listen to Teela's podcast @BLAKmatters wherever you get your podcast  Find Teela: @teelareid  Find Kath: @kathebbs
