1 Aby vs 100 Gorillas<p>🚫no settler mens comments🚫</p><p>Sorry Day? How can the government claim to be sorry for the actions it continues to do?</p><p>When Kevin Rudd first apologised for the Stolen Generations back in 08, our child removal rates were bordering on those of the official Stolen Generations policies of the 1900s.</p><p>Every year since, our child removal rates have continued to rise.</p><p>During the height of the stolen generations, it is estimated that anywhere from 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 Aboriginal children were taken. Today, 1 in 4 children come into contact with the system.</p><p>Many of these children aren't placed in the care of their extended family, or even their community.<br>Some of these children, in an act of continued assimilation practices, are even taken outside of this continent to be raised in places like Europe by white parents.</p><p>This kidnapping of our children by the colony must end. Our children aren't a commodity or novelty for settlers to acquire, they're our future and legacy, and they're real, living people who belong with their family on their country.</p><p>[from the BPU Facebook page:<br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/19ZMyqCRBc/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">facebook.com/share/19ZMyqCRBc/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>]</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Aboriginal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aboriginal</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Decolonise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decolonise</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SovereigntyNeverCeded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SovereigntyNeverCeded</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Treaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Treaty</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FuckRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckRacism</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FuckWhiteness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckWhiteness</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FuckColonisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckColonisation</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SorryDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SorryDay</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NationalSorryDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationalSorryDay</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Youth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Youth</span></a></p>
