Help commemorate the CAMP pioneers
Donation protected
Thank you to everyone who has donated to this project so far but we still need a bit more in the way of donations to meet production costs.
The Pride movement in Australia started well before the first Mardi Gras in 1978. In 1970 the national network known as CAMP (Campaign Against Moral Persecution) was founded in Sydney. The momentum of CAMP quickly spread to other States, fueling the first LGBTQI rights marches and political campaigns for changes to oppressive laws and systems.
50 years later, 78ers and original members of CAMP NSW, Robyn Kennedy and Robyn Plaister are compiling a book of newly commissioned professional portrait photographs of CAMP members across Australia, together with their personal stories of the impact CAMP had on their lives . This 300 page, large format book records the vital role played by CAMP activists in beginning a social movement that continues to this day. The book also includes rare archival images and chronologies of each State CAMP.
Thanks to sponsors and individual donations we have almost reached our budget for production costs but a small amount of funding is still needed to match our ambitions for this unique project! We hope you agree that the contribution of the people who started the Pride movement in Australia is worth commemorating. All donations welcome and please share this fundraiser to your friends. Everyone who donates $100 or more will get a special mention in the book! Donate $150 or more for a special mention and a free signed copy of the book!
We have almost achieved our target. Can you help us reach it?
