Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Media statement from ChangeMakers Resettlement Forum
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved in the tragic events in Christchurch yesterday. To all of our refugee background communities: you are welcome here, you belong here, and you are New Zealanders. We stand together as one to condemn this heartbreaking attack – it has no place in New Zealand.
Community groups in Wellington have come together to organise a vigil for those who have lost their lives. It will be held tomorrow in Civic square. Please arrive from 5:30 pm for a 6:00 pm start.
We encourage any of our community members in Wellington who need support to get in touch with us. Feel free to come into our office on Monday morning from 9:00 am (Level 4, 39 Webb Street), or to contact Lexy on 027 552 5881.
