Welcome Walk
Sunday 5 June 2022
The change of government will hopefully herald a new deal for refugees and people seeking asylum BUT the work of supporting these 10 000 people in our community is far from finished. Please consider joining the R4R team on the walk and / or donating to the Romero Centre to support their work in our community.
The Romero Centre Welcome Walk is on 5 June at Davies Park, West End.
The aim of the Welcome Walk is to bring attention to the thousands of long, exhausting, and dangerous journeys of people who have had to flee wars, persecution, or civil conflicts to seek safety and protection in Australia. The Walk will actively honour and respect everybody’s right to a safe refuge and to acknowledge every community’s right to be a welcoming and humane shelter .
The Walk will bring together people to publicly express their welcoming spirit, and express their solidarity with the principle that no one should ever have to walk alone in their quest for safety. After all, safety, ultimately, can only be found in a caring community. Safety is a global right and responsibility.
Walk with us, for 3 or 6ks starting at Davies Park, West End from 8am, so that people seeking asylum are not walking alone, and help raise vital funds to resource the Romero Centre so it can continue to provide basic human rights such as food, shelter, legal advice, access to language skills, employment, and meaningful community connections.
