The Queensland Community Alliance Maroonprint meeting will be held at St Johns Cathedral on Tuesday 3 September.
It would be great to gather together before the meeting (5 pm) and sit together to show strong support for Truth-Telling, Healing and Treaty, and to ensure First Nations are not left off the agenda.
Details on the link. Here.
You need to register. We need people! Please distribute across your networks.
