Meet Judy Kuo, a talented freelance artist and illustrator based in Melbourne who designed our ’40 years strong’ t-shirt to commemorate our 40th anniversary. “I am deeply inspired by the way APHEDA conducts its work as a collaborator and friend of marginalised and oppressed communities around the world.”
Massimo Calosi is a union member and activist. Recently, he collaborated with Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA to fundraise for the Gaza Emergency Appeal, utilizing his professional skills as a chef. “I felt very grateful and rewarded to be able to put my professional skills into something different than a business.”
The co-founder of Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA, Dr Helen McCue, received The Jerusalem (Al Quds) Peace Prize given by the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) which recognises the inspirational and extraordinary contributions and devoted efforts of Australians seeking to aid Palestinians in their call for justice.
The Palestine General Federation of Trade Union (PGFTU) shared an update on the situation in Gaza after 100 days of war. The humanitarian situation has also severely affected Palestinian workers, including those in the West Bank.
Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA expresses its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Hon Bill Hayden, a former Foreign Minister in the Hawke Government, ALP leader and Governor General.
