Palm Sunday Candlelight Vigil

This year we will gather on the forecourt of St Andrews Uniting Church in Myers St, Bendigo.

Palm Sunday (March 28) is an important opportunity to raise awareness of the continuing injustice and cruelty experienced by refugees and people who are seeking asylum.

This year Palm Sunday actions are calling for:
– Permanent visas for all refugees
– Basic income support for people in the community while their refugee status is determined
– Release of ALL Refugees from detention #TimeForAHome
– An end to offshore processing #GameOver

This vigil is co-sponsored by Rural Australians for Refugees Bendigo, Grandmothers for Refugees Bendigo, and Amnesty International Bendigo
