‘Listen to the people: 50 years of community activism’

A residents’ association that has not only endured but also thrived for 50 years is an impressive feat. How has the Western Adelaide Coastal Residents’ Association (WACRA) achieved it? The compilation of stories in this book reveals the passion behind ‘building healthy communities’ through commitment and generosity, skills and actions, advocacy and friendship. It’s about ensuring that the people who live in this place – Adelaide’s western suburbs – have a voice. The spirit of this community is unbeatable. May this book inspire you to make connections in your own community and beyond.
