Hi there,
Thanks so much for signing our petition calling on the Hillsong board to consult with ex-member and survivor groups in their independent review.
Just one week from launch, our petition has gained over 10,000 signatures and been mentioned by Religion News. Thank you so much for helping make this happen.
You're already having a big impact - every signature gets us one step closer to ensuring survivor voices are heard.
While the petition grows, we want to hear more stories from current and former Hillsong members and survivors. There is strength in numbers. The more of us that speak up, the stronger our movement becomes, and the harder we will be to ignore.
You might identify as a person of faith, have fully deconstructed, or be anywhere in between. Wherever you may be on your journey, we can all agree that religion shouldn't hurt.
Too often religion is used to cover up systemic harm. We want to shine a light into those dark corners to ensure religious institutions improve and become safer spaces for everybody.
If you have a Hillsong story, you can share anonymously or publicly using this secure form
Thank you again for your support and be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming announcements over the coming days.
Best,
Michael Bones
Co-founder, Religion Shouldn't Hurt Australia
P.S. Please be kind to yourself and only share your Hillsong story if you feel it's right for you.
