If you are the beneficiary of colonial-settler privilege there is no excuse for not working on abolishing white supremacy every single day.  There is no good day to celebrate the illegal capitalist-colonial project called “Australia” and settlers - especially white settlers - must work on giving up their privilege every single day, not just on Invasion Day. You can start by paying up; paying the rent for the stolen on which you live. Here are some places, people, and organisations you can support.
