Strike for climate New Plymouth

Sarah from Strandon

Strike for Climate - is a global strike taking place tomorrow (Friday 27th September). I have been looking for information regarding the New Plymouth Strike (location, timing etc.) and would appreciate any guidance thrown my way with regards to this.

If you are interested, here is the web link:
www.schoolstrike4climatenz.com...

It says School Strike, but that's just because it was a student initiated movement. Anyone and everyone are encouraged to take part!

"To recognise the significant threat climate change poses to all our futures, livelihoods and very existence we are calling on all New Zealanders to join us and stand in solidarity on 27th September for urgent action on the climate crisis. Student strikers are encouraged to bring their parents along to the strike and the general population are invited to get involved."

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
