SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTION GROUP GETS ACTIVE 

The action group, formed in part by some readers of this bulletin, is planning several actions over the next couple of weeks.

Some members of the group are planning to use the Hawthorn v Melbourne AFL match at the MCG on May 19th as an occasion to draw attention to the Make Poverty History Campaign by wearing T-shirts and displaying banners both outside and inside the ground. Anyone interested in joining the group could email Mick michaelm@jespub.Jesuit.org.au

The group is also participating in the Fairtrade shopping centre tour organized by Oxfam as part of the Fairtrade Fortnight event.

The Fairtrade message will be spread to some of Melbourne's biggest shopping centres (Fountain Gate, Southland and Highpoint) by means of an information stand, display banners and by using volunteers to promote Fairtrade products and direct people to buy some of the products now available in the supermarkets.

Those interested in joining our group, who will be at Highpoint could email me bpbond@spp.edmundrice.org, otherwise contact Terry at Oxfam via email terrencer@oxfam.org.au or phone 9289 9332
