August 1st Protest: Hear, See, Follow Our Lead

For the sixth consecutive year, we ask ANU students to come together on August 1st to demand better from the ANU. 

On this day, we commemorate the release of the AHRC Change the Course Report, and stand with survivors, and all those students, leaders and advocates who have fought to make our campus safer. 

In many ways, the ANU has made a great deal of progress since the release of the report in 2017. In other ways, we’ve seen little change. From months of consultation with students, it appears that the major areas in which we are yet to see significant change at ANU are in information availability and trust in services and resources, which go hand-in-hand with one another. 

With that in mind, this year, the campaign is called Hear, See, Follow Our Lead. 

We call on the ANU to Hear students, survivors, leaders, advocates, SRs, and all of us. 

We call on the ANU to See the work that we do for each other. 

Finally, we call on the ANU to Follow our Lead, and to trust us when we advocate for change.
