RAC ACTION - Suitcases in the City

THE CASE FOR REFUGEES

Playing with an instantly recognisable symbol for refugees and displaced
persons, RAC invites you to join in a ‘Happening’at 11.30am, Saturday
28th of June.

A pile of old suitcases will appear in the middle of the city.

Each suitcase represents the human suffering experienced by refugees,
their need for a safe place to call home, as well as the riches they
bring to our community

WHEN: Saturday 28th June. Meet @ 11.30 am SHARP!
It will all be over by 12.30pm.

WHERE: Meet at Atrium at Federation Square (opp. the Forum Theatre,
Flinders St).

BRING: Old unwanted suitcase (they are very cheap at op shops) with a
slogan painted on it. Wear a long coat.

Please select one or two slogans from this list:

Stop Refugee Deportations; Justice for Refugees; Abolish Unfair
Citizenship tests; Open the Borders; Let the Boats Land, Let Them Stay;
End Mandatory Detention; No-One is Illegal; Abolish Bridging Visa Es;
