  • ERC and Fair Trade: Sydney Archdiocese to go Fair Trade!
The Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney has just announced a commitment to the exclusive use of Fair Trade coffee, tea and chocolate! To the best of our knowledge this decision makes them the first Catholic diocese in Australia to become a 'Fair Trade Diocese'!

Congratulations to the Archdiocese for this decision, and to the Coordinator of ERC's Fair Trade Program, Danny Long, who worked closely with Republica Coffee's Jacqueline Arias to overcome all challenges in setting up this arrangement with the Archdiocese. It is hoped that this will encourage other dioceses to follow the example set and in turn for individual parishes and other catholic institutions to fully embrace the ethical option offered by the Fair Trade movement.

For further information on Fair Trade contact Danny Long at ERC: (02) 8762 4224 or email: dannyl [at] erc.org.au
  • Asylum Seeker Research: support urgently needed!

ERC's success in mounting a coherent argument for the reopening of the cases of those asylum seekers that Australia has deported to danger, has been based on rigorous research in situ in the countries to which these people were returned.

Such work has high levels of risk for our researchers and for the deportees. We are committed to accompanying these vulnerable people to achieve safety. In many cases their treatment by Australia has placed them at greater risk than when they were first forced to flea their place of origin.

The results of this research conducted by ERC Director Phil Glendenning and colleagues has been published in two reports: Deported to Danger. Information about the research and copies of the reports are available here.

The unique nature of this human rights research work means that it does not qualify for most sources of funding from agencies. The work can therefore only be continued through your support. To donate please go to our donations page.

Donations for this ERC work are tax deductible!
