Yes To The Voice

Memory, land, justice: why every Jew should vote for an Indigenous voice

Since its establishment in 2015, The Jewish Independent has been an advocate in Australia’s Jewish community for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

  • In 2023, Australians will vote in a referendum to change the country’s constitution. Our organisation takes a strong and unambiguous stance: Australia needs recognition of our First Nations people through a Voice to Parliament enshrined in our constitution.

  • In the coming months, we look forward to bringing you further updates on what our organisation is doing in Australia’s Jewish community to support and promote the YES campaign.But in the interim, read some of the many thought leadership pieces that our writers have contributed on First Nations people, supporting the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Yes Campaign.
