The movement is growing into one of the most important social justice campaigns ever seen in Australia. 

Where did the anti-racism street signs originate?

Initiated by the Inner West Multicultural Network in partnership with Addi Road, the #RacismNOTWelcome campaign was launched by the Inner West Council in November 2020 with the installation of #RacismNOTwelcome street signs in the community, along with videos, an art exhibition and public forums.

537 councils across Australia support #RacismNOTwelcome 

In June 2021, a national endorsement for the campaign was won at the Australian Local Government Association conference in Canberra – an organisation representing 537 local councils across the country – in a unanimous and historic vote.

Now the work really begins for all of Australia

We must act now on this desire for change and ensure every council erects the #RacismNOTWelcome street signs – and speaks in unity to say there is no corner of this country where we accept racism.
