On 26 January, people will be meeting at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy at 10:00am to walk to Parliament House. The Tent Embassy requests people to bring face masks and hand sanitiser and to practice social distancing. See: https://www.facebook.com/atesovereignty

It is great to see the walk starting at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, which was established on 26 January 1972 – 49 years ago. https://www.nma.gov.au/defining-moments/resources/aboriginal-tent-embassy
