On January 26, join together in prayer, lament and action as we commemorate survival and acknowledge the true history of these lands now called Australia. 

Commit to taking a stand for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander justice by sharing a photo of your feet on Country and sharing an Acknowledgement of Country on social media. Talk about it with whoever you meet on the day and invite others to take part.

Let's use our social media feeds for good and make a powerful statement - a generation making a peaceful stand in solidarity and friendship, on the very day when Australians reflect on their national identity more than any other.

How do I take my photo?

We encourage you to take off your shoes and head outside to take a photo of your feet on the land you live on. If you're using your phone to take the photo, landscape orientation will work best (though you'll also be able to rotate it before posting). If you want you can also take a photo with a few people, and share it together. Then, write your acknowledgment of country (or use the one we provide), add it to this website then share it on your social media, tagging us @commongraceaus.
