Racism Not Welcome
The #RacismNotWelcome initiative was developed by the Inner West Multicultural Network in Sydney. It’s a community led, grassroots initiative to acknowledge the existence of racism.
It provides a safe platform for people to speak out and normalise conversations about racism.
In March 2022 Maribyrnong Council began installing signage proclaiming ‘Racism NOT Welcome’ – reinforcing a commitment to fostering and promoting a sense of belonging amongst our diverse community.
The majority of residents who responded to a survey in 2021, supported the message and also asked that it be translated into key community languages, which has been done.
While these signs are a tangible symbol demonstrating solidarity as a community, it is the actions we as a community take collectively – to champion the rights of cultural expression, maintain community languages, community organisations and global citizenry that will truly demonstrate meaningful cultural diversity.
