    Close Pine Gap, Sacred Land Back

    Today we continue reporting on the 'Close Pine Gap - Sacred Land Back Convergence', held on Arrernte Country in Alice Springs from 17-20 July. Kuyunba is the Arrernte name for the sacred ancestral land occupied by the joint Australian-US military intelligence facility of Pine Gap near Alice Springs. The Hayes family are the custodians for the site that was taken without consent 60 years ago.  Following a weekend of talks and workshops the gathering culminated in the 600 strong convergence supporting the Hayes family to hand over a letter demanding the closure of Pine Gap, land back and compensation for 60 years of loss of access and damages to their sacred site, culture and community.You can sign the petition supporting the Hayes family demands here.

    Still Seeking Justice for Nuclear Testing in the Pacific

    As we approach the 80th anniversary of the first of around 300 nuclear explosions imposed on the Pacific by colonial powers, and mark the 60th anniversary of the French nuclear testing in the Pacific, we dip into the archives and bring you a show that first aired in 2006 and was presented by Bilbo and Emily with guest presenter Nancy Atkin for the 40th anniversary of French nuclear testing.The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons has organised a Pacific Peace Pilgrimage that will shine a light on the history and intergenerational impacts of nuclear ‘testing’ in the Pacific region, including here in Australia.  ICAN Australia is working with The Quakers and the Pacific Conference of Churches to welcome nuclear-impacted communities from the Pacific and Australia for a series of events which will highlight pathways towards nuclear justice in the region and call for a future that is decolonised, demilitarised, denuclearised and decarbonised. Join ICANW to commemorate these significant anniversaries with a candlelight vigil, led in prayer and reflection.July 1: Morning Vigil, Parliament Lawns, Ngunnawal & Ngambri Country / CanberraJuly 2: Public Event: Quaker Centre, Ngunnawal & Ngambri Country / CanberraJuly 3: Public Event, Newtown Neighbourhood Centre, Gadigal Country / SydneyJuly 3: Public Event, Balam Balam Place, Wurundjeri Country / Melbourne
