Transport Support for Nuclear-Affected First Nations Communities

May 24, 2026

Please support representatives from nuclear-affected First Nations communities to travel to the annual gathering of the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance (ANFA).

With rising petrol costs disproportionately affecting First Nations communities, particularly those in remote regions, the cost of getting mob to this year’s ANFA Gathering in regional South Australia will be significant. Friends of the Earth Australia is asking for donations to support the transport and travel expenses to help these representatives make it to the meeting.

What is ANFA?

Formed in 1997 by the late Uncle Kevin Buzzacott, the founder and first president of ANFA, alongside current president Auntie Sue Coleman-Haseldine, the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance brings together Aboriginal people and relevant civil society groups concerned about existing or proposed nuclear developments in Australia, particularly on Aboriginal homelands.

Find out more about ANFA and donate to the campaign on the following web site:

Stop Adani Day of Action – SA – Sat 7 Oct

September 27, 2017

Join AYCC and CLEAN and 350.org

On October 7th, Australia will see the BIGGEST ever Day of Action to#StopAdani! The federal government is currently considering giving a $1billion loan of taxpayer money to the Adani company’s dangerous coal mine. This project would destroy the Great Barrier Reef and wreck the climate, and does not have the consent of the Wangan & Jagalingou people, the traditional owners of the land.

In Adelaide, we’re hosting a community gathering where South Australians will come together to publicly show that we want the government to step up and rule out funding Adani.
We will meet on Henley beach, where students and community members will have created a stunning art installation, bringing the Great Barrier Reef rightto our own shores. This family friendly event will involve face-painting, kites and an opportunity to show the media how much the Australian community wants to #StopAdani

WHO: Everyone fired up to #StopAdani – no matter where you’re from!

WHAT: Art installation, face-painting, kites, a huge media photo opportunity

BRING: Friends, family, signs, sun protection

WEAR: Red – the #StopAdani colour!

WHEN: Saturday 7th October, 12-1pm

WHERE: Henley Beach Jetty, Seaview Rd, Henley Beach SA, 5022 (we will meet near the jetty- look for red shirts and stop adani signs!)

Please share the Facebook Event
