For non-Indigenous Australians, January 26th (Invasion Day) is a day to show up for our First Nations folks. For a lot of us, that means attending one of the many Invasion Day events across the country. But not all of us have the privilege to be able to take the day off and show up at these events and protests. Fortunately, a First Nations TikToker has shared the easy way you can still support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities if you’re benefitting from the public holiday rates on January 26th.
Wiradjuri, Gomeroi and Awabakal woman Meissa Mason (@meissa.com.au) explained in a TikTok that if you’re unable to attend an Invasion Day protest because you’re working and earning extra cash, you can donate what you earn on top of your regular day’s pay to a First Nations organisation or Pay The Rent.
