RESOURCES FROM PROGRESS 2019

In June 2019, Australian Progress hosted the Progress 2019 conference, with more than 1500 of Australia’s leading change-makers converging on Melbourne Town Hall for two days. More than a dozen international guest speakers included the Secretary General of Amnesty International Kumi Naidoo, The Guardian UK’s columnist Owen Jones, activist and author Asha Bandele, and messaging expert Anat Shenker-Osorio. Progress also featured 160 local speakers discussing bold ideas and campaigns from criminal justice reform to climate change, and a major focus was on centreing the voices of nearly 30 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander activists, writers, and leaders in the program. Prominent broadcaster and writer, Yassmin Abdel-Magied was our emcee.

Thank you to all our community who attended, to the presenters who shared resources, and to our friends at The Commons Social Change Library for collating the information and resources shared. If you presented at Progress 2019 and would like to add to this collection, please get in touch.
