Dear Supporters,

We hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. We wanted to share a significant update regarding our ongoing petition to revoke the "Stop Use Order" issued to the Australian Muslim Welfare Centre (AMWC) for their community facility.

We are pleased to inform you that we have successfully submitted the petition, along with all supporting documents, to the Campbelltown City Council. This includes the cover letter, the petition itself, the report on public comments, and the list of signatures gathered from concerned community members like you.

What's next? The Council has confirmed that they will place our petition on the agenda for discussion during their upcoming Ordinary Meeting of Councillors. This is a significant step forward in our campaign to address the "Stop Use Order" and seek its reconsideration and revocation.

Based on the extensive public comments and support we've received; we've identified key themes and findings that reflect the sentiments of our diverse and thriving community:

1. Religious Freedom and Rights:

"Everyone deserves the freedom to practice their religion without hindrance."

"Protecting religious rights is essential in our multicultural society."

2. Importance of the AMWC Community Facility:

"The AMWC plays a vital role in bringing our community together."

"Its services are essential for social cohesion and community well-being."

3. Multicultural and Inclusivity:

"Our strength lies in our diversity, and the AMWC promotes inclusivity."

"Let's celebrate our multicultural community."

4. Concern About Division and Prejudice:

"The 'Stop Use Order' only deepens divisions and prejudices."

"We should stand against discrimination and division."

5. Evolving Community Needs:

"Our community's needs are evolving, and the AMWC meets those needs."

"We need to adapt to changing demographics."

6. Call for Council Reconsideration:

"We urge the Council to reconsider the 'Stop Use Order.'"

"It's time to make a fair and equitable decision."

7. Support & Solidarity with AMWC:

"We stand in solidarity with the AMWC."

"Let's support an organization that contributes positively to our community."

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and your inspiring words throughout this campaign. Your voices have been instrumental in highlighting the importance of this issue. As we move forward, your continued support and engagement remain crucial. We encourage you to stay informed about the upcoming Council meeting and we will keep you updated on any developments and outcomes from the meeting.

Once again, thank you for being part of this effort to ensure a fair and inclusive community for all. Together, we can make a positive difference.

Warm regards,
