Rally For Unity – ‘Hate Has No Place in Sri Lanka’ – April 28th, Colombo

April 27, 2013 

A movement to show that moderates are strong & united against hate and are committed to promote understanding about the strengths of diversity & unity.

Given the recent spate of hate speech and the marginalization of minority communities in general, a voluntary movement of concerned Sri Lankans from various institutions, professions and industries are organizing a series of nonpartisan, non-violent awareness campaigns and rallies against racist actions and hate-speech in Sri Lanka.

One such event is the April 28th Rally for Unity – Hate Has No Place in Sri Lanka; which we hope will be a catalyst for similar events and initiatives. We believe this will empower the silent majority of moderate Sri Lankans to stand up for an inclusive Sri Lanka. We welcome your kind support and assistance. In order to remain non-partisan please refrain from organizational branding at this event. We look forward to your collaboration in respecting and embracing the diversity of Sri Lanka.

Venue: Green Path (in front of Nelum Pokuna Theatre), Colombo 7

Time: 10.45 am to 12.45pm
