Dear All
Alliance for International Justice & Equality and Lawyers without Frontiers
expressed their full support to the world wide call to build an
International Day of Action Against Racism & discrimination IDAAR 2001 on

5.- End of Mandatory Sentencing
6.- End of Mandatory Detention of Refugees and Asylum Seekers

Recognition and Elimination of the Oppressive Dominance of the "White Culture"
Proposed format:
World wide stay away campaign: no work, no school, no shopping, no play
Education week on Racism, discrimination, inequality, exclusions, bill of
rights and reparation and compensation mechanism. Power over issues
Proposed for Sydney:
1.- Seek permission, endorsement and presence from the elders and
indigenous peoples of the area for a gathering
2.- Gather at Victoria Park in commemorations of The Aboriginal Tent Embassy
Have speakers, forums, films, performers, arts, stalls etc focused on
Racism and Discrimination

peoples and all lands following with a candle lit march to Town Hall and
Circular Q, in homage of all the deaths, imprisonment and survivors of all
forms of oppression and discrimination
