Hey can i get some feedback please, as you know I was struggling and would appreciate some comments to see if i'm finally on the right track...
Thank You!
Argument
Outsiders believe redfern is a scary and unsafe place. They fear this area mostly from what they have heard in the media about the indigenous Australia that reside in the area and the way some parts of the area look.
An interview with a non indigenous resident has said “that they don’t think redfern is a scary and dangerous place”. This was furthered by an interview with an indigenous local who also said “there is nothing to fear in Redfern”. The research and interviews with indigenous people as part of this assessment has made us face this fear and spend time in the area and i have come to realise that it isn’t as bad as we hear from the media. Certain areas may be run down and people may hang out on the streets in groups but when approaching these people for a chat we found that they were actually very friendly and talkative.
Method
This activism method aims to investigate the opinions of redfern local, indigenous and non indigenous regarding the above issue. The investigation aims to convince people (people outside the area) that redfern residents feel safe so why don’t you!!! Especially since they actually have firsthand experience with being in the area.
HOW- blank sheet with catchy title and brief explanation(to be designed). On the Left Side there is a pocket of stickers(to be designed) that people are to stick on the blank sheet if they agree with the statement/argument.
Viable and effective method
Optional to participate in and the results/ outcomes can be seen (if participated in).

Sounds quite provocative.
The choice of words on the stickers will be interesting. As will the locations of the posters relative to the responses.
Perhaps mixing up the locations in terms of socio-economic mix will result in interesting comparisons of opinions.
You could graph with responses vs locations...
It definitely gets people to think about the area.
