9 Anti-Racist Crusaders To Follow On Instagram Immediately

As hundreds of thousands of people take to the streets to protest police brutality after the horrific murder of George Floyd in America, we need to keep building the momentum to enact real change.

Now is the time to educate yourself, turn up and show your support for people of colour.

In the words of Barkindji woman and equity advocate, Dixie Crawford, “There are two kinds of people in this conversation: the racists and the anti-racists.”

Be on the right side of history. We’ve rounded up a list of anti-racist crusaders on Instagram who are fighting the good fight. Follow them, support them, join them…

VANESSA TURNBULL ROBERTS

As a proud Bundjalung woman, Vanessa Turnbull Roberts uses her voice to campaign against the forced adoptions of Indigenous children and the continued stolen generation. Her rally cry: “No justice, no peace.” We hear you Vanessa, we appreciate you and we support you.

Sending all my solidarity,love and power across the world to our sisters and brothers demanding justice for #georgefloyd. Your voices are being heard, the fire is burning and the abolition movement takes power. Australia has so much blood on its hands and has been bleeding since the very first moments of imperialism. To name a few, TJ Hickey, Kumanjayi Walker, Joyce Clark, Tanya Day, David Dungay, Wayne fella Morrison and the 300+ names are all bodies that have been taken by the police. Australia you are not innocent to the murders of black lives, lands and bodies and I really do hope people utilise this time to reflect on the land and waters they are walking on and the blood that ripples through the spaces. Keep fighting, keep defending the sacred, block out your social media,stand up and be on the right side of justice✊🏾Being silent is also a choice #blacklivesmatter

MARLEE SILVA

I'm SO thrilled to announce my brand new, 100% Aboriginal owned/led/recorded/edited podcast @alwaysourstories !! I will be forever thankful for the launching pad Mamamia gave me with two seasons of @tiddas4tiddas but the plan was always to learn the ropes so I could fly outta the nest on my own! This new baby is the same premise - amazing yarns with deadly blackfullas, just this time I've allowed the brothers in on it too! 🤩Trailer is now live! Check it out via link in bio and ep 1 is coming on June 1st! Please give the new page a follow, share it with people you think will love it too, subscribe on Spotify or wherever you get pods and thank you in advance for your support! I couldn't do any of this without it - also enjoy the blooper reel vid of me trying to record an intro attached to this stunning logo artwork by the amazing @wuruhi.auaha big love 🖤💛❤️ #alwaysourstories

DOM ROBERTS

“Don’t ignore something because it makes you uncomfortable,” pleaded American Dom Roberts in a now-viral Instagram post, which has been shared by Reese Witherspoon and Sophia Bush. Dom’s bold quote tiles convey simple and important messages like, “Being black should not be a death sentence.” Preach it.

my white friends and followers , when you have the privilege of hearing from a POC listen and believe their experience. Validate them and stand with them. #blacklivesmatter

CHARLOTTE ALLINGHAM

The Wiradjuri, Ngiyampaa artist creates powerful and evocative pieces of art that speak volumes. “Being apolitical upholds and supports the systematic oppression of First Nations peoples. You are part of the problem. You are profiting off our lands, our suffering and you need to take accountability. Be better,” she writes.

There will be no justice. There will be no peace. Watch as we as Indigenous people of the land, as Bla(C)k people. Watch us rise. 🔥🔥 #ACAB . When will enough be enough, and as we stand in solidarity with the Black community over in america, as we mourn with them and hold space for them. The amount of indigenous deaths by the hands of police officers on our own lands and on other colonised lands gets nothing, no media coverage, no outrage by the wider community. Take this as a wake up call to the fact you stand on stolen land, that while you sleep in your ignorance, Indigenous bodies are being subject to the racism and violence of the police force, they murder us. the systems are created to murder us, The colony's lap dogs need to be put on a leash. BLACK LIVES MATTER. A month ago, a bunch of people came defending cops on my posts and I got DMs by cops that were offended. . Now do you get it? Do you understand why we don't trust them? Where the fuck are you now? I don't see you defending them now. You are all awfully quiet now.🙄

MEYNE WYATT

The Wongutha-Yamatji actor from Kalgoorlie speaks out about racism in Australia and uses his own experiences to fuel his fire. “There are two problems. Racism is the first. Abuse of power by the hands of police is the second. I experienced both before I was a teenager,” he writes.

There are two problems. Racism is the first. Abuse of power by the hands of police is the second. I experienced both before I was a teenager. In Australia, over 400 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died in custody since 1991. Not one person responsible for those deaths have ever been convicted. #justiceforgeorgefloyd #blacklivesmatter ✊🏾🖤💛❤️

AMY THUNIG

Bless Facebook memories reminding me of the adventures I was on a year ago, each day. One year ago I was on this panel and we discussed the bs attempts of the gov to engage in the rewriting of Cook's exploits, The $250 million being spent on the Endeavour 'reenactment' and celebrations commemorating him 🤢 ... and all things current day politics for that day. No clue that the endeavour would be cancelled and everyone would be in isolation one year on.

AMY MCQUIRE

The South Sea Islander Darumbal writer and UQ PhD candidate wrote the incredible article imploring Australians to “Bear witness to black deaths in our own country.” Read her words and learn from them.

White Not Right * Being white doesn't automatically make you right? Your history, is our fight. Your Cook is our crook But you're so blinded by ego and guilt that you don't want to look. We had 65,000 ways of living in peace and harmony And you come in with 250 ways to cause havoc and harm to me. You raped our women, took our children You rape our country, you take our land You chained us up, and massacred clans And the system has you brainwashed, you don't understand. You over police us using your law, while aimlessly trampling over our lore. From 1788 you're getting richer on our shore, Taking from the custodians while we're getting poor. Don't forget that your riches come from unceded land, each and every year will always see us stand Now Lieutenant Crook didn't discover, he stole it through invasion, That's why the 26th isn't a celebration! We've been here now for 65,250yrs and we are ready to teach you a lesson, Drop your ego and ignorance, sit back and just listen. * * * You can't discover what's already established * * *📸 @burrowsdigital #Aboriginal #TorresStraitIslander #Indigenous #firstnations #ancestors #culture #Strength #protest #power #passion #SurvivalDay #InvasionDay #IndigenousAustralian #reconciliation #Australia #AboriginalFlag #alwayswasalwayswillbe #AboriginalLand #LOVE #SorryDay #travel #uncededland #sovreigntyneverceded #custodians
