Petition/Call for Action re Homelessness
Well folks, as promised when I said Watch This Space here is what has been organised for happenings around the Homeless in Kapiti-Otaki to do. Unfortunately, Rome was not built in a day so a lot of work has gone into these events. First up is the Petition/Call for action
* The Petition/Call For Action is now available in Otaki at Maoriland and will be available at the Otaki Library sometime today. Either myself or someone else will circulate to other places in Otaki and those places will be mentioned here where that will be. I will be circulating it in Paraparaumu Beach today and further places in Paraparaumu tomorrow. Waikanae will have places available for it later today. Places of interest where I would like to circulate it to are Paekakariki and all areas in Raumati and that will start from tomorrow also unless someone is keen to meet up with me and have the Petition/Call For Action available in their vicinity
* Put this date in your diary for the Hikoi to raise awareness of the critical situation of Homelessness. 4 December gathering in Paraparaumu Beach at 1.30 pm and setting off at 2.00 pm to the area between Kapiti Library and KCDC building. Did you know this area is called the Speakers Corner (further details coming later today or tomorrow)
* Available now is a survey to be completed anonymously at this link

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
