Thug Mills - How Good Is This?

We would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation who are the traditional owners of the land we are on, we pay respect to the Wurundjeri elders past, present, and emerging. Thug Mills feels strongly about the events of the last few weeks, where we have witnessed a horrific escalation of police violence against protestors and people of all colours across America. We continue to be aware of the injustice against the traditional owners of this land, whether it be police brutality, rates of incarceration, gaps in health, education, employment, and monetary inequity. We feel that what would make sense at this time would be to try and amplify black creators and voices. We feel that this is not the time for us to be heard, but to listen to the voices of others. And to try and educate ourselves to those who have been oppressed. There is no amount of education that will help us to understand what that is truly like. We encourage you to seek out and support black creators and artists, whilst you also find ways to support protestors. Other ways in which you can support include donating to the Justice for David Dungay Junior fund, the Sisters Inside bail fund, and Pay the Rent. You can also donate to the Aboriginal Legal Service, which aims to address the overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the criminal justice system. We wish you all the best in health and safety at this time . https://www.gofundme.com/f/d9qkb6-justice-for-david https://www.gofundme.com/f/bfvnvt-freethepeople https://vals.org.au/volunteers/get-involved/donate-vals/ https://paytherent.net.au/ For further ways in which you can support, see the article https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/pkyb78/how-to-support-the-george-floyd-protests-from- australia Elements of this podcast have been transcribed from the My Brother, My Brother and Me episode “Feed Drop: Minority Korner”.
