We offer support for activist event promotions and assist activists across Australia with content creation and communications dissemination. Our team includes a graphic designer, social media specialist, regional media advisor, editors, event promoters, and communications strategists. We are all committed to human rights work and are eager to help in any way we can!

Our goal is to provide communications support and create successful promotions, so that activists have the tools they need to effectively challenge injustice everywhere.
