Episode 574: Clothing the Gaps on Not a Date to Celebrate

Join me for an important conversation with Laura Thompson and Sarah Sheridan from Clothing the Gaps about their "Not a Date to Celebrate" campaign. This episode explores how small businesses can create meaningful social change, the power of authentic advocacy, and practical ways you can get involved - whether you're in Australia or listening internationally.This conversation covers the history behind why January 26th is problematic, how Clothing the Gaps successfully campaigned to "Free the Flag," and their current petition that's gained over 73,000 signatures. You'll learn about building effective campaigns, using your business platform for good, and why this 87-year-old conversation is more relevant than ever.If you are First Nations and need some help right now in the lead up to 26 January, check out: 13 YARNBeyond BlueSign the Not a Date to Celebrate petition hereConnect with Clothing The GapsNot a Date to Celebrate Education HubInstagram: @clothingthegapsTikTok: @clothing_the_gapsWebsite: Clothing The GapsSign Up as Brand Partner: (Scroll to bottom and fill in form)Connect with My Daily Business:Instagram: @mydailybusiness_TikTok: @mydailybusinessEmail: [email protected]: mydailybusiness.comResources mentioned:Vanta AIAI Monthly Chat Group for Small Business OwnersHow to Get Your Book Published course Join our AI Chat Group for small business ownersMy Daily Business courses - mydailybusiness.com/courses A huge thanks to our sponsor #gifted a platform that helps businesses connect with real people creating real content, at a fraction of the time and cost of a traditional campaign.
