Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) fundraiser
ASRC will hold a fundraising Telethon from 7am - 8:30pm on Monday June 20 (World Refugee Day) - call 1300 MYASRC (1300 692 772) to make a donation.
The Telethon aims to bring awareness to the 1,500 refugees who are bravely protesting and fighting for their freedom on Manus and Nauru, plus the estimated 24,500 people in Australia now who are fighting for their freedom, with little/no access to justice.
The goal is to raise $100,000 during the Telethon which can provide over 3,000 hours of legal assistance so people's claims can be heard, and they have a fighting chance to find safety here in Australia.
The Mid North Coast Refugee Support Group (MNCRSG) is made up of ordinary Australians working to raise awareness and break down the myths about asylum-seekers and to encourage re-settlement for those who are oppressed by violence and fear.
