Just a reminder that the 40th Candle Light Walk for Justice & Peace is
on Friday 4th July, 2003, in Adelaide - starting at ex-daylight saving
time: walkers gather from 6.45pm for a 7.15pm start. Feel free to use
the item in italics below as a template for your publicity for the
Justice & Peace Candle Light Walk in support of a Treaty & Bill of
Rights.
JUSTICE & PEACE CANDLIGHT WALK: "Australians can show their support for
a treaty with Australia's Indigenous peoples. Candles will be lit for
justice and peace advocating an Indigenous treaty on Friday 4th July,
03, and every following first Friday of the month throughout 2003.
Walkers can gather with candles at Government House from 6.45.PM for a
7.15PM start. The walk aims to protect Ngarrindjeri culture, spiritual
beliefs, lands and waters, to stop any nuclear waste dump on traditional
lands, and from affecting the environment via a Treaty & Bill of
Rights."
Candle Light Walks are held in Adelaide at Genocide Corner in front of
Government House on the first Friday of the month. These walks express
the concern of those who wish justice for Indigenous peoples. There's an
opportunity to listen to Ngarrindjeri, and other Indigenous Elders speak
on issues affecting their people.
The microphone remains open for anyone to offer their thoughts on
current issues, to sing a song, or to share stories of struggle. Please
feel free to attend, and show support for a Treaty with Indigenous
people, a Bill of Rights, justice and peace, as well as opposition to
any nuclear dump in South Australia.
Another monthly Candle Light Walk is to begin in Sydney, and soon Candle
Light Walks in other States may follow. Don't worry if it will just be a
small group of you to start with.... as Vincent Lingiari said: "from
little things big things grow" ! Respect Indigenous people's traditional
land and waters. Light a candle and walk for justice and peace. Join the
Indigenous call for a TREATY.
Respect Indigenous rights. Recognise Ngarrindjeri culture and spiritual
beliefs. Look after the Coorong and its wildlife. Protect this unique
Australian wetland. Look after Lake Eyre. Conserve this unique cultural
environment. Protect its cattle and tourist industries.
NO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP

these gubs no shame?
Don't they get it yet? How much more serious mental harm has to be
caused here? When will they stop imposing conditions of life likely to
destroy Ngarrindjeri, Arabunna, Kupa Piti and other Original Owners of
the Land?
Keep walking. Good poster too.

It's really exciting to see these community events happening. I was
wondering if there is anyone that you know of in Victoria organising
similar events. VCOSS is really keen to support something similar in
Victoria and it'd be great to be put in contact with anyone here who
might be organising or thinking abt organising something similar.

Sydney Candlelight Walks. Things have been very slow with the Sydney
walks, I will give this more time this week ...
