Yoorrook Walk for Truth
Yoorrook Walk for Truth
Yoorrook Justice Commission invites you to be part of the Walk for Truth from Portland to Parliament.
Everyone is invited to join when Yoorrook Deputy Chair Commissioner Travis Lovett, Kerrupmara Gunditjmara, walks from Portland, where colonisation began, to Parliament, where we can transform the future.
Starting on Sunday 25 May on Gunditjmara Country at Portland, the Walk will finish at Parliament House on Wednesday 18 June.
This powerful journey aims to bring everyone together to walk toward truth, celebrate the strength and resistance of Aboriginal people, and be proud to have the oldest living culture in the world as ours.
As Victoria’s first formal truth-telling process, over the past four years Yoorrook has heard powerful truths from people right across the state, giving evidence on the impacts of colonisation, including systemic injustice, as well as the strength, resistance and achievements of First Peoples.
These truths form the basis of Yoorrook's final reports, documenting the past and providing a roadmap to transform the future.
The walk will be a powerful way to build shared understanding of these truths, talking together about our history, while walking together to transform our future. For First Peoples and for all Victorians.
This Sunday you can walk from Werribee to Yarraville, on Tuesday the walk will go from Footscray to the Shrine of Remembrance, or join the historic final leg on Wednesday 18th June from the Shrine to Parliament House.
