The Institute of Postcolonial Studies is an independent public educational project, interrogating colonial relations and their consequences in the past, present and future in Australia and globally. IPCS operates a lively hub where scholars, students, artists, activists and citizens come together to share practically engaged ideas for creating a better world.

IPCS builds collaborations, projects, and knowledge in support of new forms of sustainable coexistence. Through creative research, performance, and discussions, IPCS aims to cultivate new relationships of shared responsibility and care — across communities and for the places we inhabit.

The Renters and Housing Union (VIC) is a member-run Union of renters and people in precarious housing, formed through the Rentstrike as a response to COVID19.

They collectively organise for the right to safe and secure housing through self-advocacy, education, and frontline eviction defence.

The Save Public Housing Collective is a group of estate-based tenant groups, allies and individuals who fight against the forced displacement of public housing residents through redevelopment programs.

We came together in late 2018 in an attempt to bring together all groups fighting for theirs and other’s right to safe, secure and sustainable dwelling. As part of our work, we demand an end to the privatisation of public housing stock and land through gifting the homes of precarious people to private developers and housing associations. We do this whilst acknowledging and centring the fact that public land is stolen land, which always was and always will be Aboriginal. We support the fight to end the enclosures, evictions, incarcerations and banishments that are wreaking havoc in our communities.

3CR is a community radio licence holder based in Smith Street, Fitzroy. We are Australia's oldest community-owned and community-run radio station. Since we began broadcasting in 1976, we have prioritised the voices of marginalised communities and under-represented issues. 3CR broadcasters present around 125 radio programs every week, with 20 community language shows in 13 different languages, and 10 hours of First Nations programming. Listeners can tune in on 855AM, 3CR Digital or stream live through the Internet, download podcasts of our shows or access the audio on demand.

The radio station was established to provide a voice for those denied access to the mass media, particularly the working class, women, First Nations people, the queer community and the many community groups and community issues discriminated against in, and by, the mass media. Our organisational purpose is "3CR community radio provides a media space enabling progressive communities to voice ideas and build their power to create social change".

Food Not Bombs is a collective of people throughout the city that collect, cook and deliver vegan food to the streets, to protests, fundraisers and events.

In Narrm/Birraranga people started organising FNB in around 1996 and since then it has grown to 3 servings every week as well as special events catering. The regular weekly servings are held on the streets so that anyone who is hungry, homeless or in need of food can eat without restriction.

It is important to FNB that everyone who wants to eat with us can. Nearly all the food we use is food that is donated or would otherwise be thrown away, or that sometimes has been thrown away already. All of the people involved in FNB are volunteers. We support social justice, human and animal rights, and will often cater for events that are in line with radical social change.

HUSK is a grassroots housing collective organised for and by people oppressed by patriarchy because of their gender; particularly those facing homelessness, domestic violence or violence from the state.

We've been running for 5+ years and our values focus on cultural safety, trauma informed care and community building. We work hard to be a supportive place for refugees / asylum seekers, first nations people, those living with mental illness and/or disability, and the LGBTQ+ community.

We have several transitional and long term houses across Narrm and Meanjin and are the only anarchist housing collective (that we know of) in these areas.

Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) is a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. BDS upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.

Israel is occupying and colonising Palestinian land, discriminating against Palestinian citizens of Israel and denying Palestinian refugees the right to return to their homes. Inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the BDS call urges action to pressure Israel to comply with international law.

“Bendigo Street” will not be screened at any film festivals that are supported by, either partially or wholly, by any Israeli owned institutions that are complicit in the occupation of Palestine, and the extermination of the Palestinian people.

The IWW are a radical workers union tracing our roots back over 100 years. Organised around the idea that the working and employing class have nothing in common, our members have been at the bleeding edge of the struggle against capitalism from 1905 through to this day.

Flat Out is an independent, not for profit, community based organisation that is managed by and for women, trans and gender diverse people.

Flat Out is committed to co-creating safer spaces, fostering support and self-determination for people who identify as sistergirls, intersex, transgender and/or gender diverse women. We respect that identity is for the individual to define, and work collectively to ensure that people with these identities are accorded respect and access to our support and advocacy, and provided ongoing opportunities to inform policies concerning the intersection of their identities with experiences of criminalisation.

Homes not Prisons is a campaign calling on the Victorian Government to stop the expansion of Dame Phyllis Frost and re-allocate the budget for prison building to public housing to provide “housing first” and support for criminalised women and their children.

Sign their open letter which states:

-> Stop the proposed 106 bed expansion of the Dame Phyllis Frost women’s prison in Melbourne’s north west announced by the Andrews Government on 19 March 2021.
-> Divert the funds for expansion of the women’s prison to building and supporting 1,000 new public homes
-> The budget for expansion of Dame Phyllis Frost is $188.9 million. This would build 1,000 new public homes. Operating costs for the 106 new cells will be at least $12.5 million a year – enough for basic operating costs for 1,614 public homes.

We accept there is a need to improve visits, health and other facilities at Dame Phyllis Frost but we oppose any increase in capacity.
