Our world is at a turning point!
Two decades of progress fighting infectious diseases, empowering women and girls and building education and economic prosperity stalled when the Pandemic hit.
Decisions made by this generation can put the world back on the path to progress, peace and prosperity.

Overlapping challenges are hitting all at once. Dangerously hot and unpredictable weather, fuel shortages, hunger, violent invasions and the mass movement of people are linked and inflamed.
If we do nothing, today’s challenges will become tomorrow’s catastrophes.
We are calling on our nation’s leaders to build A Safer World for All, by committing to:
1. Increased investment in Australian Aid
Right now, Australia’s aid spending is at its least generous point in our history. It’s amongst the lowest of all wealthy countries and less than half of the UK given the relative size of our economy. This puts at risk progress on ending extreme poverty.
2. Support for a fairer global economy
In its current state, the global financial system is contributing to inequities between countries. It is becoming harder for developing countries to fend off cascading crises without falling into severe debt. Servicing debt restricts spending on the building blocks of development, such as health systems, education, and social services.
3. Contribute to a safer climate future
Climate change impacts such as more severe droughts, floods, bushfires, and storms are impacting us all, but not equally. Communities living in poverty are often most vulnerable and yet have fewer means to respond.
Biblical Advocacy
Many Christians are nervous about advocacy, thinking it is divisive and has nothing to do with faith, worship and evangelism. Yet evangelism itself is simply advocating for the reign of God and inviting people to surrender to the rule of Jesus and to worship God.
More generally, advocacy is speaking up and out in the name of the God of Jesus.
You can see advocacy throughout the Bible, in the Safer World For All Theology Paper Tim Costello unpacks what the Bible has to say about our role as advocates for global justice.
