When we fail to articul ate a believable path out of a crisis\, or worse stay silent for fear of getting it wrong\, a vacuum appears. Enter One Nation who have filled i t and\, as a result\, are dominating the mainstream media with divisive messages targeting people based on their race and gender\, pitting commu nities against each other for political gain. \;\n \;\nWhile the conversation is centred around Pauline Hanson's sudden ascension to bei ng preferred Prime Minister\, social proofing for One Nation continues to climb\, we continue to cede ground\, and communities of colour and im migrants are rightly feeling abandoned. \;\n \;\nHere’s what we kn ow: \;\n \;\nPeople are angry and outraged about the economic cris is\, and billionaires have succeeded in scapegoating marginalised commun ities (including immigrants\, trans people\, and working class communiti es). Globally\, anti-immigration parties are gaining in traction as a re sult. \;\n \;\nNewer One Nation supporters are generally doing it tough and are looking for a way to protest and challenge the ‘political elite’ (aka major parties – and even civil society organisations)\, who they feel have failed them. They don’t always support One Nation polici es\, but are looking for alternatives that aren’t elitist. As a result\, attacking Pauline Hanson in fact moves persuadables away from our messa ges of fairness and justice. \;\n \;\nThe solutions to improve the lives of everyday people are our solutions – real wage rises\, tackling housing inequality\, stemming corporate greed\, ensuring access to publ ic health and education – yet this is the opposite of the current conver sation. Put simply: our messages aren’t cutting through. \;\n \;\n We’ve invited Anat Shenker-Osorio to host a snap briefing to share frank advice on how we turn this around. Anat has spent years figuring out ho w progressive movements break out of this stagnation\; build solidarity across race\, class and genders\; and give people a vision to get excite d about. The briefing will include a presentation plus Q&\;A with Ana t. \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: Activism\, Politics\, social justice\, Educa tion\, webinar\, Gathering\, discussion\n\nImported from: https://seedbo mb.au/events/554 URL:https://events.humanitix.com/responding-to-the-rise-of-one-nation SUMMARY:Responding to the rise of One Nation: snap messaging briefing LOCATION:Zoom: false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
