NO TO WAR NO TO RACISM The tragic events in the US have encouraged the warmongers and racists to raise their heads. Sadly, that has included incidents of harassment against Muslims and people of Middle Eastern background in Wills. Such incidents have included two Muslim high school students being forced from a 19 tram because they were wearing scarves. A racist painted an offensive slogan on the wall of Moreland Centrelink. That is why all of us who want peace and respect among people of all religions and none should make a stand. Come to this rally, bring family and friends, encourage your group to endorse it.
