We are writing you this letter in the hope that this massacre is immediately stopped. It is the universal duty of each individual to defend the innocents and expose the truth.

One thought that might help is there is a lot of people standing by your side. 10,000 people marched in Sydney today for peace.
I believe activism can be done in little ways everyday through education, talking to people you might never have thought of talking to and challenging any assumption you find keeps coming up in your mind.
