The Government is choosing to increase climate changing emissions and failing to support communities hit first and worst by severe weather. Climate change is increasing the cost of living and wreaking havoc on the livelihoods of our regional communities.

N95s offer superior protection against flu and Covid.
They can protect your health and the health of those around you.
Many people also find them much more comfortable than surgical masks.
If you can’t afford them, look for your local mask bloc.
If you can afford them, please donate!

To think we all collectively felt the leadership in Aotearoa throughout the pandemic to elected that same leadership in a landslide.
Now a couple of years on from learning what decent leadership is, we get Spotify playlists while the world order shifts.
Thankfully it's an election year...

Reminder to check your booster status
Eek. There‘s been quite the spike in the wastewater surveillance. And anecdata also suggests an increase in Covid cases in the Wellington region. My neighbours have just all had it, and one of the leads in my daughter’s ballet show had to pull out because she got sick.
