But know this: neither of their lives shall be in vain. The galvanizations of our communities must be continued beyond the tragedies. While we fight injustice, we will also hold ourselves to an appropriate level of intelligent advocacy. If they refuse to hear us, we will make them feel us. Some will mistake that last statement as being negatively provocative. But feeling us means feeling our pain; imagining our plight as parents of slain children. We will no longer be ignored. We will bond, continue our fights for justice, and make them remember our children in an appropriate light. I would hate to think that our lawmakers and leaders would need to lose a child before protecting the rest of them and making the necessary changes NOW…

he "Bring Them Home" song is the anthem of the Bring Back The Woodville Kids and #TwoTooMany Campaign. Everyone has the right to a safe, healthy, happy life. On the 26th of June, 2014, two 16 year old Vietnamese students were taken away by the immigration department from Woodville High School and placed in mandatory detention. They were sent to Inverbrackie Detention Centre in the Adelaide Hills and soon afterwards, they were then flown out to Darwin, where they are now being detained at Wickham Point. Help support the #TwoTooMany Campaign by signing this petition to the Australian Minister of Immigration and Border Protection, Scott Morrison, Here: http://chn.ge/1q5cCWn
