End this alarming current of hatred: Open letter to party leaders

Voices in Exile join over 200 orgs to call on party leaders to end the divisive politics, racist rhetoric and demonising language of the past. Only then will they bring unity instead of division and cohesion rather than hate.  This must be a turning point.

Anti-refugee protests across the country have been distressing to witness, with echoes of last summer’s riots making them all the more alarming.

‘The pernicious and insidious currents of racism and hatred underlying these protests are glaring evidence of a failing system. The responsibility to end the divisive politics, racist rhetoric and demonising language of the past is yours. Only then will you bring unity instead of division and cohesion rather than hate.’
