From Hassan, our lead organiser, on Leon's passing: "I cannot describe the sadness inside me and my feeling for the loss of a person among the supporters of the refugees. He was in the gathering of the first attendees. We have lost you and we have lost your encouragement." (1/2)
This election represents a sliding-door moment for thousands of temporary visa holders in this country.
TPV and SHEV holders are trapped in limbo.

Too many refugees on temporary visas can't get to university, no matter how well they do during high school, because of this unfair system.
Permanent protection and an end to the temporary visa system now!
"This is the tenth year that I have not celebrated Mother's Day with my mother because of the cruelty of this government. 30,000 refugees are also deprived of these important moments, and the reason is clearly visible for everyone to see. That reason is racism." - Hassan

Lead Organiser of @J4RVic Hassan Jaber speaking at the Palm Sunday Rally about the refugee mental health crisis as a result of 9 years of hopeless insecurity. Permanent protection and family reunion NOW! @racvictoria#JusticeForRefugees#Justice4Refugees
Sign our petition calling for permanent visas for all refugees now.
A decade is already far too long for 30k people to live in constant fear of getting deporting, having no safe future, no human rights, and no family reunion.

Calling on @StVincentsMelb not to discharge Mohammed back to detention. Not #ParkHotel, not #MITA, not tomorrow, not next week, not ever.
Indefinite detention is a health hazard. It’s harmful. He’s already suffered.
Please sign and share. https://t.co/8U8VCu78mK
'We named our baby boy ‘Omid’, which means hope in Farsi because we had beautiful dreams for him. Now all we have is the cold stone of his grave, where he died, lonely and innocent in a foreign country. Australia has taken our hope, our Omid.'

We popped down to see the #ActionforAfghanistan mural today, being painted by the amazingly talented Sharon Billinge. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Check it out corner Cleveland St & Woodburn St, Redfern
Rally in Sydney tonight calling for evacuation and freedom for the Park hotel refugees, where 21 out of 46 in detention now have COVID. This is a direct result of the government's contempt for their lives, both in appalling infection control and keeping them in detention.
Afghanistan situation is deteriorating day by day, videos circulating on social media that the T.ban are shooting people on streets. There is no amnesty from them it’s proven again & again. Its time for the Aus gov to reunite us with families to safety

Salah Mustafa says his son was 14 when he came to Australia seeking sanctuary. He is 23 now. “His education, his childhood, all of it taken away.”
End the cruelty now! #justice4refugees#setthemfree
