More locations will be posted here over the coming weeks and exact location's made available a few days before the protest. Get working on those home-made banners! Please keep signs relevant to removing the mandates, managing our health crisis and getting our nurses back to work!
IMPORTANT: Please help us ensure this event remains safe and professional, supporting our cause to get nurses back to work. Whilst we encourage you to bring 'home made' signs we also ask that they are only about the mandates, getting nurses back to work etc rather than the hundreds of other issues that we are currently facing. We reserve the right to ask anyone with signs or behavior that does not represent NFFNZ to leave and have health and safety plans in place to manage any potential issues.
We are also aware there may be counter protestors and/or the press at these events and trust you will let our experienced Co-ordinators manage both if needed.
SAMPLE SIGNS: 'We are Nurses (Carers, doctors or physios etc) - Let us work' "Hero to Zero" " Let us work" "Experienced Nurses (Doctors, carers etc) out of work due to mandates" "Drop the Mandates" "Health system in Crisis" "Let us help" "We want our Jobs Back" "First Do No Harm" "Support NZ Nurses" "Give Mandated Nurses Their Jobs Back" "Nurses Missing from DHBs" " Health system in crisis? Drop the mandates! " Mandates make no sense - let nurses work!"
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
