Do you know who the weed busters are?

Carly Gooch Reporter from The Nelson Mail

A group of weed busters have been working on the knee-high weeds on SH6, including Nelson's Beatson Rd roundabout and Quarantine Rd roundabout. The Nelson Mail received a leaflet dropped in anonymously, by a group calling themselves Wanda the Weed Witch, with before and after images of their handy work. Seems to be a movement of guerrilla gardeners all around the country doing the work of our councils and transport agency. Was it you? Or do you know who it was?

'Write for Rights', Saturday 7 December from 2.00 to 4.30pm

Sandy from Stepneyville

'Write for Rights' is timed to celebrate Human Rights Day on 10 December. This is the world’s biggest human rights event, a moment when Amnesty International’s movement of ten million comes together as one to take action and stand up for freedom, justice and equality.

Collective action pressures authorities around the world to bring those responsible for human rights abuses to justice, and free people wrongfully imprisoned.

We'll be gathering as we do every year, to write letters and send messages of support to victims of human rights abuses around the world.

Venue: Friends Meeting House, 30 Nile St, Nelson.
Date: Saturday 7 December, from 2 to 4.30pm

Please bring a small contribution for a shared afternoon tea. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Please encourage others concerned about human rights issues to come - all welcome!

RSVP: to Karen du Fresne, Amnesty International Planning Committee Email: kdufresne8@gmail.com by Monday 2 December.
