The Big Clean-Up

Tim from Thorndon

www.bigcleanup.org.nz...

From the organisers:

"When the protesters leave, we will be here. We will put Wellington back together again.

What’s the plan?

So far, we have permission from the Speaker of Parliament, but we’re waiting on mana whenua to decide how best to proceed. We don’t know when the protesters will be gone, so we will do our best to be ready to go when they are.

Sign-up, and we’ll email you as soon as we’re able to move in.

The current plan is for a volunteer crew to move in to clear out rubbish and other waste to make the area safe for a larger ceremony to proceed. Masks and social distancing will be observed.

Our Goals: This is not a counter-protest, or directed at the protesters at all. This is something we are doing for our community, for each other.

Be Strong: The heart of our community hasn’t changed. We are still committed to taking care of each other and upholding our shared values. That is our strength, and we want reaffirm it.

Restore: We want to restore Parliament Grounds as a public space for all, and to make the surrounding spaces feel safe again."
