PALM SUNDAY WALK FOR REFUGEE JUSTICE  

Palm Sunday has a proud history of mass mobilisation for peace and justice. On Sun April 13th, thousands of Australians -- people from community organisations, faith groups, advocacy organisations, unions, local businesses, schools, universities, will stage a peaceful march for justice for refugees and asylum seekers in capital cities and other centres around Australia. Click here for more details.

It is a chance to send a message that Australians want asylum seekers treated fairly and with compassion.

About this site

This blogsite had its origin as a means of linking students from Christian Brothers Schools in Victoria, Australia who attended the Social Justice days I organised or who participated in school retreats I helped facilitate.

It arose from a belief that as well as charity, advocacy for human rights can also be a compassionate response for those who experience injustice and deprivation. In other words we can address root causes rather than just symptoms.

After moving to Geneva to take up a position with Edmund Rice International (ERI) I decided to maintain the bulletin with its expanded mailing list but to give it an added focus linking it with the work of ERI
