Everyone is entitled to a public voice

The document asserts that public communication is essential for democratic societies and that the marginalisation of people living in poverty in public discourse hinders the achievement of social and environmental justice.

• The WACC General Secretary argues that achieving social and environmental justice is critical as rising social, political, and economic inequalities increase the likelihood of social and geopolitical conflict.
• Public communication spaces for exchanging ideas and shaping discourse are shrinking, which is particularly concerning when it results in the silencing or marginalisation of people living in poverty, whose experience and knowledge are necessary for a fairer society.
