QUEENSCLIFF -Big Walk4Refugees

Excerpt

- a solidarity action with the 10,000 people still in visas limbo - after 10 years on ‘Fast Track’

Join us on Saturday March 23 in Queenscliff for a walk to support permanent visas for asylum seekers!

We’re walking  to call on politicians to provide permanent visas for all 10,000 refugees who have been a part of our community for over a decade. They are our friends, neighbours, family and colleagues, and they belong here.

  • Meet at 10 a.m. sharp at the Queenscliff Marine Discovery Centre car park, 2A Bellarine Hwy, Queenscliff.  Short address by speakers: Borough of Queenscliffe Mayor Isabelle Tolhurst; Sinthu (an asylum seeker).
  • We will walk together along the path to the Springs Beach at Point Lonsdale. Please bring a sign to carry while you walk, in addition to sturdy shoes and weather appropriate clothing. (Walk approx. 4km return). We will have some signs available for people who don’t have their own
  • We will return to the QMSDC car park at approx. 11:30 a.m, where there will be an opportunity to write letters to our local MPs about the walk and the issues that motivated us to participate
