MELBOURNE Fifty people crammed into Hendersons Cafe to launch the West Welcomes Refugees postcard campaign on September 21. The postcards, designed by Viv Mehes and featuring students from Footscray City College, allow Western suburbs residents to send personal messages to detainees at the local Maribyrnong detention centre. Postcards can be obtained from the Refugee Action Collective-West by emailing <refugeeactionwest@froggy.com.au> or phoning (03) 9687 0789 or 0438 191 768.
