Give Racism The Finger

We are a NEW national organisation established to erase racism in Australia.

Our first campaign "Give Racism The Finger" is now underway.

Giving racism the finger means saying ‘no’ to racist slurs and remarks. There’s four ways you can do this during our campaign from 16 May to 12 June.

1. Visit any Body Shop store in Australia. In the store, make a commitment to speak out about racism by adding your fingerprint to the canvas.
