SHORE: Community Action Day 1

  • We-Cycle in Batman Park St Georges Road and Artherton Rd Northcote, Northern Melbourne AUS (map)

We'll be working alongside We-Cycle to clean, repair, and maintain a number of discarded bikes that will be re-homed to those in need. We-Cycle works with different refugee communities and organizations, donating bikes and teaching people to ride. Some bikes from this day of Community Action will also be donated to students who need/want them at St. Joseph's Flexible Learning Center (where I've been working with students the past few visits). Caring with and for Australia's refugee communities and individuals was voiced as a need over and again during the SHORE Visioning/Workshop sessions over the past year.

Emily Johnson / Catalyst is based on Mannahatta in Lenapehoking. We work to pay respect to Lenape homeland, people and ancestors past, present, and future by organizing with communities from the Lenape diaspora to build pathways for Lenapeyok return. We have been taught to name Lenape Nations and say cama’i to our relatives from Delaware Tribe of Indians in Bartlesville, OK; Delaware Nation of Oklahoma in Anadarko, OK; Stockbridge-Munsee and Mohican Community in Wisconsin; Moravian Delaware of the Thames in Ontario, Canada; Munsee-Delaware Nation at Munceytown in Ontario, Canada; Delaware of Six Nations in Ontario, Canada. 

We strive to be in good relations with our kin—human and more than human—and in effort to support growing kinstillatory relations and sovereign, liberated futures we are anti-colonial and abolitionist in all capacities. We are committed to on-the-ground water and land protection, consistent decolonization work, and Land Back. 

Quyanaqvaa-lli elpeni to all Sovereign Nations, Indigenous and First Nations people who live in relation to and from Lenapehoking and upon whose lands we work and tour.
