Our Story

At Seed, we know that by building the power of those most affected, and confronting systemic injustices, we can build strong, sustainable and resilient communities where everyone can thrive. We believe in the power of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people to lead the solutions to protect country, culture, and our climate. Our communities have the solutions we need and are already leading the change.

Why Seed?

Seed is a metaphor for our movement of Indigenous young people. Across the country, as our seeds grow and our roots take hold within the ground, they are strengthened by our deep cultural connections, guidance, and knowledge from Elders and communities.

This collective strength ensures that our branches reach even higher, allowing us to thrive while our movement stays firmly grounded in culture and climate justice. Our growth is a continuation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resistance to protect country and culture.

Stop fracking the Kimberley

Take action today

Will you join us by flooding government decision makers with submissions so they understand just how strong the opposition is to fracking in the Kimberley.

Texan frackers Black Mountain are planning to drill 20 new gas wells and frack them up to 70 times - each well using up to a massive 100 million litres of water and a toxic mix of chemicals.

Protect country, culture, and our climate - show your support.

We are Seed

Seeds need to be planted in the earth in order to sprout, grow and produce more seeds representing our strong connection to country as well as a cycle that has been going on for tens of thousands of years. We’re building this movement for our country, for our people and for our culture.

Many Indigenous communities around the world are facing the loss of sacred country, culture and rights to make decisions that affect this land.

We also know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have looked after the land sustainably in the past, which gives us hope that we can do it again. As elders of the future, it is so important that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people stand up for climate justice and have access to mentoring and supported leadership opportunities to do so.

Over half the population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are under 25. Increasingly young people are leading the way in many areas of social change for our communities and as Seed, we are committed to ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people are supported to lead the movement for climate justice and ensure our voice is heard on issues that affect our future.
