Time is running out for Reconciliation Victoria which shuts its doors on 30 June 2009 because it has been de-funded by the short-sighted Victorian Government.As it has become clearer that Reconciliation Victoria will be forced to close its doors due to the Brumby Government's decision to inappropriately and inadequately fund the organisation. We are calling on all supporters to be part of a silent vigil outside the State ALP Conference onSaturday, 13 June at the Melbourne Town Hall, Cnr Swanston and Collins Streets, from 7.30am - 10am.
Please come wearing black and feel free to bring a poster as a measure of your concern. We want to do a dignified protest, particularly as ALP delegates arrive. Feel free to forward this notice throughout your networks.
It's important that the State Labor Party gets the message that Reconciliation Victoria should be allowed to continue its good work.
