The 'Targeted' Monograph by Dr Tanja Dreher details the climate of fear and insecurity produced by attacks and vilification against Muslim, Arab and Sikh Australians after September 11, 2001. The report is particularly relevant following the racist violence in Cronulla.
During 2006 Shopfront is planning a series of free workshops to support communities and anti-racism work. Two free workshops on Media Training and Marketing & Promotion of Social Issues for Community Workers will be run early in the New Year. We are also be working with a range of community organisations to pilot an 'event' for young people experiencing racism to develop ways to channel anger and frustration into non-violent and creative responses.
