We believe Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities should and can have all the necessary ingredients to self-determine our own futures, and protect our country.
Original Power is a community-focused, Aboriginal organisation that builds the collective power of our people and backs our leadership, skills and capacity to genuinely achieve self-determination in our community and on country.Our resources and tools share our collective knowledge so that we can learn from each other.
Original Power believes that it is our right and responsibility, as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, to care for country.
We need to decide which projects we give consent to and ensure they are owned by and benefit our communities now and into the future.
Original Power works with First Nations community partners to overcome structural barriers that are preventing our mob from accessing fair, affordable and reliable clean energy and harness the opportunities of the renewable energy transition.
Our communities are facing serious threats to our lands and culture. We need the power and agency to respond, and that means building knowledge, resourcing action, and creating the connections that will help us organise for change. We are also working with communities to take advantage of the clean energy boom.
We can’t do it without you. Will you stand with us?'
