Summary: Mia Northrop is a digital media professional from Flemington in Melbourne, and the brains behind the Vindaloo Against Violence campaign, which took place in February this year. Vindaloo Against Violence urged people around Australia to show their support for Indian communities by dining out at Indian restaurants as a statement against the spate of violent attacks on Indian people - mainly students - which had been taking place. Mia used her skills with and understanding of digital media, gained over 10 years' experience marketing website and designing digital user experiences, to create and promote the event through facebook, initially, then a dedicated website. In this instalment of PodRights, Mia talks to Race and Disability Discrimination Commissioner, Graeme Innes, about cyber racism and the ways digital media can be used as a tool against racism.
