Event details

TUE 17 JUNE 2025
6:30pm-8:30pm
Hazelhurst Arts Centre - Theatrette

Sutherland Shire Council and Advance Diversity Services are excited to present the screening of the Voices for Power documentary, “Do Migrants Care: Challenging Climate Myths.”
Through the life stories of leaders from Voices for Power, a Sydney-based migrant-led climate action group, the film challenges prevailing myths about migrants' role in addressing climate change.

The documentary confronts the disconnect between Western narratives of climate action and the deep-rooted, everyday climate care that exists within communities in the Global South. By following the journeys of migrant leaders, the film shines a spotlight on them leading climate justice actions in Australia, advocating for the voices of the most vulnerable and holding decision-makers accountable.

Following the screening, we will host a panel discussion featuring key leaders from Voices for Power, offering further insights into the intersection of migration and climate justice.

For Refugee Week 2025, the Refugee Council of Australia will continue the three-year theme of Finding Freedom, with a focus on diversity in community to emphasise the vital role community plays in all our lives, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, language, disability, sexuality and age.

Community is where people find the strength to solve problems together, where voices are amplified, and where aspirations find direction and support. It’s a space where everyone can feel safe, valued, and empowered to pursue their dreams without fear or judgment.

Council staff may take photos and or videos at this event. We might use those images in our publications, on website or social media or other communications. Please tell a staff member on the day if you don't want your image used.
