This is not a routine panel or discussion. It is a deliberately designed forum at a critical moment, where silence is being enforced, rights are being narrowed and communities are being told, implicitly and explicitly, to step back.

Our position is simple and principled: When we are pushed back, we must step forward.

Grief to Action, has three clear objectives:

  • To centre lived moral journeys, including conscience-driven activism and public courage and demonstrate how conviction translates into responsibility and action.
  • To prepare and strengthen community trauma responses, particularly in relation to Gaza and the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe forced on the Palestinians.
  • To restore agency, reminding ordinary people that safeguarding justice, truth and fundamental rights is not delegated work. It is civic work that belongs to all of us.

This forum is to move us from grief and outrage into clarity, resolve and lawful, ethical action.

Tickets: from $15, with pre-ordered meals available to purchase.
