Tim Lo Surdo, national director of Democracy in Colour, talks about how COVID-19 has exposed racial inequality and huge cracks in our democracy.

“We can have a really inspiring conversation [around racial and economic justice], bring people together around a positive vision. Not just fighting against something, fighting for something, for the world we actually want to live in, that we’ve wanted to live in since we were born, that we want our children to inherit.” For our fourteenth episode, we sit down with Tim Lo Surdo, Founding Director of Democracy in Colour, Australia’s first national racial justice advocacy organisation led by people of colour. Together we discuss the importance of political advocacy and campaigning, how Democracy in Colour is working to dismantle structural racism and how to be a strong ally for a number of impacted communities.

We're over halfway through this State Election miniseries with Act on Climate, and we're bringing you something different. Due to a change in schedule last week, the normal AoC meeting wasn't recorded, so instead we bring you an extended interview with Kate Wattchow, long-time activist and campaigner with Friends of the Earth Melbourne, both at Yes 2 Renewables and Act on Climate. We get into the daily realities of campaigner life, what propelled Kate down this path, missed opportunities to become a campaigner even earlier in life, and what sustains and motivates Kate to keep going. This is a great extended interview and good double feature with our other show this week with Tim Lo Surdo. Support Climactic See /privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

All around the world, young people are taking things into their own hands.

Fascinating episode of Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! this week as Tim Lo Surdo joins us to talk about social justice, “anti-rascism” and what inspired him to found Democracy in Colour.
This guy is a gun. At just 22 years old, Tim Lo Surdo has advised federal senators and worked at everywhere from the Oaktree Foundation to the Australian Youth Climate Change Coalition to UN Youth to the United Voice union. He's now set up an advocacy group called Democracy in Colour: an advocacy group dedicated to combating racism in Australian politics. It's a fascinating project, and here Tim outlines his personal experiences of racism, the realities of racism and the politics of fear in Australia today, the Left's failures to combat such racism and how white allies can help (in the right way).
