About Us
"WeAreChange Australia" is a grass roots activist organisation committed to upholding and defending the universal values of truth, democracy, justice and liberty which we believe to be under assault by the current governing authorities in Australia and elsewhere in the world.
Our aim is to "be the change we want to see in the world".
We have no political affiliations or alliances.
We believe that protecting democracy is the solemn duty of all citizens, following from the well known adage: "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.".
We have resolved to do something, rather than nothing.
We Are Change.
