Common Threads

Common Threads is a new First Nations led organisation, working to grow and harness the power of First Nations leadership, advocacy and changemaking to win transformative change. We are forging a new pathway to build Indigenous power and drive systemic change that centres the aspirations of our people – for Country, for community and for our rights.

For generations, our communities have fought tirelessly across many fronts. It’s because of the decades of protest, activism and advocacy led by our Elders and young people that huge momentum for change has been growing. 

When we reflect on the past and how hard we’ve fought, whilst looking at how far yet we have to go, we must set sights on the aspirations of our communities and shift the goal posts of what’s possible.

No matter how hard we fall, we get back up and the fight continues – for land back, treaties and justice. 

It’s time to come together, across our movements and campaigns, and build power together, now and into the future.

Common Threads is a project of Passing the Message Stick, led by a steering committee of Dr Jackie Huggins AM, Larissa Baldwin-Roberts and Millie Telford.
