Vindaloo Against Violence

Dine at your local Indian restaurant Tomorrow, Wednesday 24 February 2010.

Let’s find a way to show support for the Indian community and signal that we will not turn a blind eye to violence in our city. This violence threatens all Melburnians’ sense of safety and pride in their home. I want the Melbourne Indian community -and all immigrant communities – to know that they are welcome and entitled to feel safe here.

How cool would it be if Melbourne displayed a show of force by all going out and eating Indian food on a certain night, to embrace and show solidarity with our local Indian community?
Let’s do it!

If you don't like Vindaloo, maybe you could do: Papadums for Peace, or, Korma for Karma, or Dosais against Disunity, or Idlis against Intolerance, or... get the point. Support a marginalised, voiceless person tomorrow.
