Since the launch of the We Stand Together Against Racism campaign in March, the six councils of Greater Hobart have joined forces to amplify a powerful message: there is strength in diversity and power in unity. From buses and billboards to the backs of toilet doors, the campaign has reached far and wide—sparking conversations and encouraging reflection on ways to stand against racism.

Welcoming Week, held 12-21 September, offers an opportunity to build on this momentum. It is a chance to bring people together to celebrate belonging, respect, and cultural diversity. It’s a time for individuals from all walks of life to stand together in solidarity against racism and discrimination, and to help create a more welcoming Greater Hobart for all.
