Hi everyone
This is a reminder about the peaceful protest we are holding at 10 am on Thursday, March 28th, at 22 Kelvin St, Invercargill, to defend our funding for disabled people.
- There will be some speakers, and we will be using a megaphone.
- Please email messages of support to put on our website for the media to quote.
- We couldn't find a deaf interpreter. But there will be a next time.
- Melissa has made placards. And you can make some and bring them.
- There will be people with yellow high-viz vests to help people and ensure everything goes OK.
- There will be sign-up sheets to get the names and contact details of supporters so we can get stronger over time.
- There will be a poster you can all take home and put up at your church, workplace, club, local shop, cafe, pub, agency, and car.
- People have been putting posters up all over town.
