Aboriginal Deaths In Custody 540 Tshirt by Koori Threads

This Aboriginal Deaths in Custody 540 T-shirt by Koori Threads is in Memory of all of our Families who have cried and continue to cry, and to pay our Respects to the 540 Families whose Hearts continue to Bleed at the loss of their loved ones, who returned to the Dreaming to soon.

As our Ancestors whisper the Names of so many these are the stories that stick with us forever, and yet here we stand in 2022 as the Silent Voices of our 540 Families continue to go unheard. 

May each and every name cross your journey, be your strength and be your courage as they walk beside us now. 

Each and every one of our 540 Brothers, Sisters, Mothers, Fathers, Aunties, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, THEY ALL HAVE A NAME! 

When The Royal Commission produced 110 reports, 10,000 pages of script and 339 recommendations were made, Australia must ask themselves how is this possible? It acknowledges the forgotten History of the Royal Commission when it examined the ninety-nine Aboriginal deaths in the custody of prison, police or juvenile detention centers that occurred between 1980 and 1989, and yet it doesn't see Mainstream Media. It's no longer OK to keep closing your eyes Australia, walk with us we will show you a better way.

This is not the way!

Please note this shirt was designed in 2022 and our numbers continue to climb almost weekly
