Boorloo Justice is a grassroots First Nations & Bla(c)k led youth collective. Boorloo is the Noongar word for the Perth CBD area. Boorloo Justice originally came together to organise (in collaboration with many other grassroots mob) the Perth BLM protests in 2020. Boorloo justice is now focusing on events that create safe spaces for First Nations, bla(c)k, brown and queer folks in Perth. This includes events to highlight First Nations/bla(c)k performers/artists in Boorloo, queer events focussed on decolonising the idea of queerness, as well as holistic healing workshops/events that focus on community and what that means to the bla(c)k & brown communities in Boorloo.
Most recently we’re working on BAALAY! In Boorloo which is an event series that will celebrate and promote young Bla(c)k creatives in Boorloo. It will feature a lineup of local DJs and market stalls for First Nations/Bla(c)k businesses. Its priority is to create a platform for First Nations/Bla(c)k creatives and businesses, and an inclusive space.
We also want to start a mutual aid fund/program for First Nations/ bla(c)k/ POC trans folks in Boorloo. This money/donations will go towards supporting these folks in whatever capacity is required.
keep up the incredible work
