Tony Burke launch of ‘Walk for Respect’

The Federal Member for Watson, Tony Burke launched the ‘Walk for Respect’ Ambassadors Ceremony today, presenting certificates to Ambassadors from various community organisations in recognition of their commitment and in unity against racism and bigotry.

Tony Burke, along with the Member for Lakemba Jihad Dib and Member for Canterbury Sophie Cotsis, joined community representatives at the Lebanese Muslim Association in Lakemba and the Chinese Australian Services Society in Campsie, to acknowledge the importance of community involvement in the upcoming ‘Walk for Respect’.

“I encourage everyone to walk with me in a show of unity. Bring along your friends, family and kids, and don’t forget the drums,” Mr Burke said.

‘Walk for Respect’ is a walk of unity and solidarity for all Australians. We walk together for unity and against racist hate speech. We celebrate and defend the Racial Discrimination Act, including its protections against racist hate speech.

State Member for Lakemba Mr Dib said “We are at our best when we respect each other’s differences, while highlighting what we have in common. The Walk for Respect is about coming together to celebrate everything that unites our community.”

People who take part in the Walk for Respect will encounter cultural performances at various points during the walk, with drumming groups from different parts of the world will beat their drums. .

Ms Cotsis said “Our success will be a measure of how effective we are at uniting our community, not dividing it, and the collective strength that celebrating our diversity provides us.”

The walk will be held on Friday 31 March, 2017 at 5.00pm, beginning on the corner of Gillies and Haldon Streets, with a free family BBQ at when the walk finishes at Parry Park.
