This year — like the one before it — was about showing up. Loudly when it was needed. Quietly when that was what care required. And consistently, even when it was hard.

We’re humbled to share this record of how we stood in solidarity with Palestine, with refugees, with First Nations communities, and with all those pushing back against injustice.

This work was collective. It was imperfect. And it was rooted in care.

And we do this work humbly, always aware that we organise, gather, grieve, and resist on unceded Aboriginal land. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land and pay respect to Elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded, and justice here is inseparable from justice everywhere.

From protests to panels, markets to memorials, and the quiet, unseen work that happens in kitchens, inboxes, and late-night conversations –   shaped by care, mistakes, and learning as we go.
