Jessie Street Luncheon 2022

Jessie Street Luncheon 2022

  • The Jessie Street Lunch has been held annually since April, 1989, the centenary of Jessie Street’s birth. It is held at the NSW Parliament House in Sydney. 
  • The lunch is an inspiring platform for discussion of the social justice issues that were dear to Jessie’s heart and for which she fought – the rights of women & indigenous Australians, peace and an end to all forms of discrimination.
