Palm Sunday Walk for Refugees 2021
This year on Palm Sunday (28th March) Walk for Justice for Refugees is an important opportunity to raise awareness of the continuing injustice and cruelty experienced by refugees and people who are seeking asylum.
Starting in the 1980s, churches across Australia joined together on Palm Sunday to march together for peace. The Palm Sunday Rally has gone on to become an annual ecumenical event that draws people from many faith and non-faith backgrounds to march together to show support for public policy issues that are of importance to them.
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 assessed
- Release ALL Refugees from Detention
- An end to offshore processing
