#EndTheWaiting

The Australian Churches Refugee Taskforce and Common Grace have launched a campaign for Australian Churches to hold vigils for refugees and asylum seekers in limbo in Australia. Anyone can join a vigil, or plan and host one in their own electorate. For over a decade, thousands of refugees and asylum seekers have lived in limbo. Every day of waiting strips people of hope, dignity, and a future.

The #EndTheWaiting campaign is urging the Albanese Government to provide:

• A pathway to permanency for all asylum seekers failed by Australia's flawed asylum processes, including those subjected to the Fast Track system.
• Work rights for all asylum seekers while claims are processed.
• One visa that extends until claims are processed—ending the bureaucratic nightmare of applying for a new visa every three to six months.
