News Palm Sunday Resurrected for Refugees
The Sunday before Easter was long a day of action for the peace movement, until flagging interest led to the annual march being disbanded a few years ago. But the Palm Sunday Committee - including long-term convenor Bruce Childs - has re-actived the march in the wake of a groundswell of opposition to the Howard Government's cynical scape-goating of asylum seekers. The rally will start at Belmore Park (in front of Central Station) and there will be a silent march to Tumberolng Park at Darling Harbour for a concert and festival. The march will be led by a group of distinguished public figures.
Confirmed speakers include Dr. Jacki Huggins Sister Susan Connelly (Head of the Sisters of Mary McKilliop) and Labor Council secretary John Robertson.
The list of supporting organisations includes: Search Foundation, Friends of the Earth, Pax Christi Australia (NSW), MSC Justice and Peace Office, Independent Education Union, CEPU (NSW), NSW Labor Council, WILPF, Politics in the Pub Committee, People for Nuclear Disarmament,Australian Peace Committee, Labor for Refugees (NSW), Australian AntiBases Campaign, Coalition for Justice for Refugees, Buddhist Peace fellowship, National Union of Students, Wayside Chapel, AMWU, Greenpeace, CLRI, Aidwatch, St George's Church Paddington, Sisters of Mercy / CCJP, FILEF, Quakers, Sydney Catholic Archdiocese Justice and Peace For more details on how your union can be involved contact Paul Howes at mailto:[email protected]
