Stop the Move-on Orders: Invitation to Join an Overnight Vigil, 29 March
Join us for an overnight vigil of solidarity with people experiencing homelessness.
We will gather outside Wellington Anglican Cathedral of St Paul, overlooking Parliament, to express our opposition to the government’s proposed Move-On Orders for people sleeping rough and to dream and pray for alternative solutions to homelessness.
Come prepared to listen to others, to play board games and to hear speeches, music and poetry that spark your imagination.
We invite you to stay through the night, so bring a sleeping bag or blanket and come prepared to dwell outside in the cold as we keep vigil and pray for a more compassionate future. There will also be an opportunity to write a letter to politicians asking them to change direction. Everyone is welcome.
Supported by Anglican Diocese of Wellington, Catholic Archdiocese of Wellington, Wellington City Mission, The Salvation Army, St Paul’s Lutheran Church, St John’s in the City Presbyterian Church and the Methodist Alliance.
RSVP essential for ensuring we can plan for everyone’s safety and wellbeing: updates and announcements will be made to a whatsapp group of registered attendees. Register at https://bit.ly/moveonvigil
