“Vindaloo Against Violence” is an event that is taking place on the 24th of February, the brainchild of Mia Northrop. Mia encourages every Melbournian to go out to their favourite Indian restaurant/eatery to enjoy a meal on this date and show their support for the Indian community in our city. So get out in force! The Facebook event that Mia created has already attracted almost 8000 attendees.
She describes the event as an "easy way for ordinary Melbournians" to:
1) Express their anger and disappointment that racially motivated violence is occurring in their city
2) Embrace and show solidarity with the local Indian community
3) Mount a show of force against the perpetrators of violence.
E and I thoroughly support this great initiative. It is a fantastic way to raise the issue of racially motivated violence in our city in a non-violent and non-disruptive manner. I myself have already made a booking for 8 at my local Indian restaurant.
