We usually meet at ETs Hotel, 211 High St., Prahran on the 1st Wednesday of every month, at 7 pm. Parking is available in Clifton Street. 
Contact Megan for details on 9543 1926.
Feel free to just turn up. Our regular attendees are happy to provide a lift if you live in their area.

Am I Invited?

Yes! Anyone who wants to do something about injustice in the world today is invited. Even if you're not a member, you're invited.

Can I bring a friend?

Of course you can! Bring your friends, your neighbours, even your Mum and Dad.

What'll we do there?

Each month there will be a speaker, either from the community, from the government or from Amnesty International. We have discussions, videos, questions & answers and time for general camaraderie.

Can I get more involved?

We were hoping you'd ask. Many people are needed to sustain a viable & useful group. We have a number of volunteer positions available. We truly hope to create a strong & supportive community of people who want to make a difference.

We produce a monthly newsletter, detailing what we've done, and what we're planning to do. The latest newsletter and some archives of previous newletters can be found here.

If you would like a copy of the newsletter, we'd like to send one to you!
You can either email Meg and ask for one to be posted to you, or fill in the subscription form on the left side of this page and we can send the online version.

We will be collecting any news or journal articles, book references, web pages or even personal stories regarding Nagaland and asylum seekers. If you see anything that may be relevant, please mention it to us.
