17.01.2022 What is a Passport Club you ask?

11.01.2022 Most people would agree that racism exists and is something that needs to be eradicated in order for there to be a positive society that benefits all. This is a...n easy statement to make. The difficult part is then reflecting on history and acknowledging some difficult truths. The Black Lives Matter movement has highlighted just how systemic racism affects people of colour, at times proving to be fatal. We here in Australia have our own shocking statistics of Indigenous deaths in custody and the general treatment of our First Nations brothers and sisters. It shows that racism does not stop at any one country's coastline. It must be said that we value the good work that our police do and how through community collaboration are able to keep communities safe. It is amazing to see police officers supporting the movement, acknowledging that change is needed within the system. We also acknowledge those who have tried to implement change and as such lost their jobs because of it due to unwillingness by those in power. We support the Black Lives Matter movement and through this statement want to acknowledge the importance of this type of movement to move things forward for our most vulnerable populations. It's true that every life matters, this movement does not debate this. What it stands for is making sure that black lives matter just as much as anyone else's. In Rotary we have a code we live by: Is it the truth, Is it fair to all concerned, Will it build goodwill and better friendships, Will it be beneficial to all concerned? We believe as a humanitarian organisation, with this code and morally we have an obligation to play a role in supporting this movement and promoting meaningful change. If we do not, they can simply seem like well-meaning words without the courage to back them up. #blacklivesmatter Rotaract Australia Rotaract District 9500 Rotary Club of Salisbury, SA Rotary District 9500 South Australia Photo Taken from: HindustanTimes, 2020 - https://tinyurl.com/hindustantimes-blm

05.01.2022 Rotary's core values (as embodied in the four way test) are built around equity, fairness, honesty and integrity. Internationally, Rotary has members of every r...ace and color and recognizes every member with equal value. Rotary is also striving to extend diversity, in all aspects, within its clubs. This weekend, in the US and across the world there will be mass demonstrations to highlight ongoing issues of injustice, systemic racism and institutional brutality towards people of color and indigenous people. While planned peaceful protests in many parts of Australia are not able to legally proceed due to public health restrictions that are in place, many Australians share a deep concern about systemic injustice, how it impacts individuals and how it impacts those communities where it still exists. The video of a prone, handcuffed George Floyd dying under the crushing weight of three police officers rightly shocked the world, but this is neither a one off incident or a rare occurrence. This type of systemic institutional racism and brutality is also not just an American shame. The rate of incarceration of indigenous Australians is among the highest in the world. Both the high number and high relative frequency of indigenous deaths in custody in Australia was formally acknowledged and widely recognized in the late 80's resulting in a Royal Commission. Sadly many of the findings of the Royal Commission are yet to be acted upon and since 1991 there have been 432 deaths of indigenous people in custody in Australia. The world was horrified to hear the last words of George Floyd (I CAN'T BREATHE) as they watched him die. But these were the same last words of Eric Garner who was choked to death in New York in 2015. Many Australians are unaware that they were also the last words of David Dungay, a young indigenous man who died while handcuffed, face down and under the weight of prison officers in Sydney in 2015. Some people say, we should not import the racial tensions and protests from America to Australia. Tragically we dont need to, it is already here, its been here for much of our history. But for many the dark history of brutal racism in Australia is confronting as it was not included in the histories we were taught in school. There is a part of our history that needs to be re learnt with new understanding and painful honesty. It may not be appropriate for us to march this weekend but it is both appropriate and necessary that we all look deep within our hearts, our communities and our history to acknowledge and admit to the faults we readily see in others and begin to address it in ourselves.
