Palmerston North Public Meeting May 24 2024

By: Kylee Maloney

DUNZ Palmerston North: 14/05/2024

Today I received word from the office of Tangi Utikere, MP for Palmerston North, that he and the Hon Priyanca Radhakrishnan, Labour's Disability Spokesperson for Disability Issues, propose to hold a public meeting of the disability community and allies on Friday 24 May.

This will be at 14:30 in the Community Leisure Centre, 569 Ferguson Street, Palmerston North. 

Please print and/or distribute the attached flyer and text far and wide. We need to fill the centre to its rafters and then raise them with our ire and determination to protest the ongoing disrespect and disregard with which we are habitually treated.

Day 40 - DUNZ - Unite all disabled people

Unite all disabled people

DUNZ: 29/04/2024

Disabled people are everywhere. Disabled United (DUNZ) campaigns to unite all disabled people in the ongoing fight for our mana and our rights as full human beings. Regardless of place of residence, disability, national origin, religion, sex, political affiliation, sexuality, etc.

One small practical step is to make resources available in the many languages spoken in NZ.

For a start there are the official languages, English, Maori and NZ Sign Language. But there are many more spoken in migrant communities. The campaign needs to reach everyone.

In Invercargill, DUNZ supporter Kahutaiki kindly translated some English text to Maori for the "Join DUNZ" poster used in the campaign.

If you can help, we need volunteers who speak other languages to also translate material for the campaign.

For example: Samoan, Mandarin, Hindi, Tagalog, French, German, Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic, Tongan, Panjabi, Korean, etc.
