If we all raise our voices and let them know how we feel about this issue, we may be able to bring about change in Western Australia. You can contact them by clicking on the email addresses below:
Everyone should feel welcome in our state's parliament. Imposing prayer rituals merely serves to exclude non-religious people and people of minority faiths.
