Photos available from the Martin, we can do better - Community vigil, 6 June

On Monday June 6, a diverse range of local groups and residents gathered in an all-day vigil, outside Martin Ferguson's electoral office, to celebrate World Environment Day, and to call on Martin Ferguson, as our current federal parliamentary representative, and as Minister for Energy and Resources, to do better in a whole lot of areas connected with the environment.

• Darebin Climate Action Now (Jane Morton)
• Doctors for the Environment (Merryn Redenbach)
• The Darebin Japanese Women’s Group (Mikoto)
• Psychology for a Safe Climate (Carol Ride)
