We Stand Together Against Racism

We Stand Together Against Racism

Posted on 21 March 2025 Six southern Tasmanian councils today unveiled a new campaign celebrating Greater Hobart’s cultural and linguistic diversity and taking a stand against acts of racism.The idea of the ‘We Stand Together Against Racism’ campaign has been driven by Brighton Council and developed collaboratively between Brighton, Clarence, Hobart, Glenorchy, Kingborough and Sorell councils, with guidance from the Migrant Resource Centre.The campaign was officially launched with a walk along Hobart’s waterfront, led by the six Mayors, CEO/GMs, and former Tasmanian Premier and Chair of the Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania, Peter Gutwein.Coinciding with International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the walk to Parliament Lawns was an opportunity for community members to show solidarity, raise awareness, and commit to a future free from racial discrimination.Following the walk, the City of Hobart hosted The FILM and TALK, featuring the launch of Our Journey, a short film by Students Against Racism.
