Solidarity and a peace Rally
SOLIDARITY VIGIL AND PEACE MARCH WHANGAREI
FOR THE VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS
OF FRIDAY’S ATTACKS
AND FOR THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY
Media Release 17 March 2019
A public vigil is being held today at Laurie Hall Park, central Whangarei, starting at 6pm. The vigil, coordinated by Carol Peters with support of community groups, churches, District Council and police – and with the agreement of and endorsement by the local Muslim community – is open to all.
“This is an opportunity for all of us in the communities of Whangarei to come together in the face of this terrible that has impacted on Muslim families right through Aotearoa – and on all of us. This is a chance to show our compassion and honour our common humanity,” said Carol Peters.
Prior to the Vigil, a Peace March will start at 5pm at the Clock Tower at the Town Basin and proceed from there to Laurie Hall Park. The March is being organised by Emily Henderson. As many as can manage this walk are encouraged to join in.
The Vigil will include a mihi whakatau and karakia led by local kaumatua, prayers, songs and reflections. It will conclude before 7.30pm with a statement from the Muslim community and a prayer by the Imam, and the singing of the national anthem.
