Not a Date to Celebrate with Clothing the Gaps

January 26 isn’t just another public holiday. For many First Nations Australians, it marks the beginning of invasion and the impacts of colonisation that are still felt today. That’s why we're interupting your normal Money Diaries programming to bring you this conversation, with very special guests  Laura Thompson and Sarah Sheridan. Laura and Sarah are the co-founders of Clothing The Gaps, the Aboriginal led and controlled, and majority Aboriginal owned business and social enterprise behind the Not A Date To Celebrate campaign. In the ep they explain what often gets missed in the public debate, how economic empowerment plays a role in real, lasting change, how First Nations–led businesses approach impact differently, and what refectful and informed support can look like on this date and beyond. EPISODE LINKS: Clothing the Gaps websiteNot a Date to Celebrate campaignSign the petition here.Download their MP letter here.
