Come and enjoy some of Melbourne's best bands as they donate their time & talent in a statement against racism, in the heart of Melbourne's shame... our local camp, a prison for 80 people whose only crime is to flee desperate situations.
Features Snout, Brown Hornet, Euphonia, Moondriven and many more, stay tuned for details...
RAC (WEST) invites people planning to come to the Rock Against Racism on Nov 24 to bring gifts or Christmas presents for detainees and asylum seekers in our community. The gifts will be collected at the event & given to the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre to distribute amongst people in detention and those on temporary visas living throughout melbourne... any good quality toys, clothes, even movie vouchers etc etc are welcome, but please do not wrap them.
There will also be an opportunity to write messages to the detainees during the rock against racism.
Finally, although the concert is "free", we are requesting that people bring some money to donate, even if only a few coins. This is necessary because of costs incurred by the sound system, stage & council requirements.
Dont worry, if you've got no money or gifts we still hope for your company on what looks like being a fantastic day.
