Cal and Jacinta speak to Flis Marlowe from the Rainbow Community Angels, 'an LGBTIQA+ community-led safety project working together to make our LGBTIQA+ communities, kids & families feel safer, connected & supported.'

Flis discusses the urgent need for community activism and the mobilisation involved in setting up the Angels as an ongoing initiative to protect community and support events to continue to take place, which have been facing increasing threats and cancellations.
