Christchurch shooting

Laura from Thames

As many probably are I am disturbed and saddened by what has happened in Christchurch. Would anyone in the Thames area be interested in a public display of solidarity for those impacted tomorrow? Any ideas/suggestions as to how to proceed?

On Friday we saw the best and the very worst.
We cannot let the despicable atrocity in Christchurch divert us from acknowledging what is good and great in our society. There is an underbelly of racism in New Zealand and hopefully the terrible events in Christchurch will be the catalyst for all of us to call it out wherever we experience it. We’re also going to see long overdue major reform of our gun laws. But there is so much that is good and great in our society.
