International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in 2022

Today is not #HarmonyDay. Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Harmony day is the classic whitewashed Australian way of trying to deny that racism exists. Don't fall for it!

Just your annual reminder that the creation of “Harmony Day” was John Howard’s attempt to gloss over racism in Australia. It’s actually the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Globally and locally, we’ve got so much to do #FightRacism

21 March is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination Since 1999, Australians have known it as Harmony Day because John Howard didn’t “accept there was underlying racism in Australia” So why would we waste time eliminating something that doesn’t exist? https://t.co/KPgbUcvWTm

Today is Australia's Harmony Day, which celebrates the country's cultural diversity. It coincides with the United Nations' International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. #gymeavillage #gymea #shoplocal #buylocal #supportlocal https://t.co/ytls6ah7dJ

This UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. We’re advocating for strengthening meaningful, and safe public participation and representation of First Nations people, in all areas of decision-making to prevent and combat racial discrimination. https://t.co/zfZckoSqZu
