Who are we?

Unbowed means to not submit to the status quo, and we wish to take this idea into action, to fight against the status quo in our city, to fight the prevalent isolation, food deserts that have become the norm.Too often people believe that making a difference is a thing that begins and ends within the halls of parliament. Luckily that is not the case, creating change is not a thing delivered to our communities every three years in a ballot box, it is a thing that we have the ability to do every day.Canberra Unbowed is founded on this, that change is possible when communities come together united!What we decided to build is a Mutual Aid organisation, focused on building connections between all the incredible organisations in Canberra already doing incredible work. What we strive to do is support these organisations wherever we can, through hosting events, providing volunteers, letterboxing, getting donations, whatever, in order to support our local communities.We believe in the principal of solidarity, not charity.

Our Vision is to:• Support existing community programs.• Connect organisations together and build a web of support.• Organise regular letterboxing, leafleting, postering and outreach events to get people to the food banks, fundraisers and donation events.• Build support in order to fight the food deserts in Canberra.• Create events in local communities where people can come together.• Building a community skills page where people are able to share skills and support others in our community.• Working with The Greens, Unions, Local representatives and lobbies to voice the current issues afflicting the people in Canberra.
