Abstract

When the Federal Government put out a cartoon saying 'No Way' to asylum seekers from Afghanistan, it struck a gong that reverberated around the nation. Some church leaders gathered together to begin a movement, playing off the government's slogan. They began calling themselves 'Love Makes A Way'. Here were people who would seek to use nonviolent actions to call attention to the injustices in our asylum seeker system, notably the close to 1000 children in immigration detention.
