WIN tickets to Albert Nobbs

Albert Nobbs is a period drama about identity. It focuses on the role of women and how one woman’s ingenuity allowed her to function in a completely patriarchal system, allowing her to be in charge of her own life.

“A gripping ensemble piece. Glenn Close is terrific … highly affecting.” – The Guardian

Thanks to our friends at Hopscotch, we are giving away 10 passes to see Albert Nobbs from 12 January in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Perth or Canberra. To win, be one of the first ten people to send us an email with your name and postal address.

Its GiveNow week

GiveNow Week takes place around Australia during December each year to focus attention on the many ways we can make a difference to the lives of others.

This week, please make a donation to All Together Now to help us continue to promote the prevention of racism. We are the only national not-for-profit working solely on addressing racism in Australia. As you’ll see from our recent Annual Report and Give Racism The Finger project report, our overheads are extremely low (1%) and our social impact is high. Every dollar you donate will make a difference.

Do you have something to say about racism?


All Together Now is conducting interviews to find out what people think racism is, how it has affected them or others, and what can be done about it. Each interview is filmed for distribution online, and will take less than half an hour. We are interviewing individuals, as well as groups of colleagues representing a business.

WIN tickets to The Tall Man

“Australia’s colonial and racist underpinnings are revealed in the penetrating and stylish crime docu The Tall Man. Helmer Tony Krawitz creates a vivid portrait of an Australian island enraged by the death of an Aboriginal man while in custody of the local, predominantly white-run police force.” Variety magazine

Is racial prejudice higher than five years ago?

The annual Mapping Social Cohesion report was released today.

The research shows a very slight drop in the number of people who say they have been a victim of racial abuse in the past 12 months, remaining at around 14% (that’s 1 in 7 people).

It also shows that 44% of people think the level of racial prejudice in Australia is higher now than it was five years ago. All the more reason why All Together Now’s work is needed!

The Body Shop conference

Earlier this week we gave a presentation at The Body Shop’s annual retail managers’ conference in Melbourne. There was so much enthusiasm and energy for All Together Now’s work, and indeed for all their charity partners.

We made this 40-second film for the managers to summarise our Give Racism The Finger work together earlier this year:
