For 27 years, Stand Up has channelled the collective energy and expertise of the Australian Jewish community to appreciate and fulfill our responsibility to improve our world. We provide avenues for our community to act on ancient and contemporary Jewish calls to pursue social justice.
We work tirelessly to mobilise, inspire and educate the Jewish community and we channel this energy into work with marginalised communities to break down systems, attitudes and barriers that entrench racism, apathy and disadvantage. For decades, we have proudly worked together with refugee and First Nations communities in Australia in the shared pursuit of social justice.
Our challenge in 2021 has been not just to build on that work, but to expand and enrich it. We've asked ourselves the questions; what unique contribution can we make to the social justice landscape? How can we continue to forge bonds and bring people and communities together? Here's what's new about us:
By partnering with inspiring organisations that represent their communities, we ally ourselves with people who know their communities inside-out to deliver outcomes that everyone wants.
Education without action doesn’t effect change and action without education can be counterproductive. We won't treat education and action as separate objectives, but as dual requirements for all our work.
Social justice is about changing the status quo—from how things are to how they should be. We're shifting gears to run new programs that don't just confront and challenge us to reimagine our society, but enhance our ambition and accelerate our ability to change it.
