#Reconciliation

Market Lane Coffee is proud to support the First Nations Voice to Parliament. We are actively committed to reconciliation, and we believe that the upcoming referendum is an important first step towards realising the full Uluru Statement from the Heart – and a significant opportunity to walk with First Nations people in a movement towards much-needed reform and a better, brighter future for this country.

NAIDOC Week is an annual celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It’s celebrated not just in Indigenous communities, but in all communities across the country. It's a great opportunity to learn more about, and support, your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

This National Reconciliation Week, the Market Lane team is ‘wearing it yellow’ to show our support for Children’s Ground and their important work.

In June this year we wrote to our community, outlining some of the steps we are taking to become an actively anti-racist business. This was in response to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, which prompted us to reflect on the racism and injustices that exist here in Australia, and to honestly examine our own role in both the problems and the solutions. We realised we were not doing enough and needed to do more.
