Toppling Towers of Power by Jo Cooper
We are delighted to have Jo Cooper join us to talk about 'Toppling Towers of Power'.
In 'Toppling Towers of Power', Jo Cooper chronicles the extraordinary six and a half year legal and personal battle that led to one of Australia's most influential court decisions of the 21st Century. More than a legal case, this is a powerful exploration of governance, human behaviour, institutional accountability, and what it truly takes for an ordinary person to challenge entrenched systems without institutional support. Blending lived experience, storytelling, and social commentary, Jo exposes how silence protects power and why courage from ordinary people is essential to creating meaningful change.
Free, but bookings are essential.
