Funding starts to dry up for Auckland’s sexual abuse crisis centre today — and petition creator Kirsty McCully has made an urgent appeal for people to contact John Key personally. Hundreds have already responded by posting on John Key’s Facebook — can you join them and tell Key that he should continue to fund this critical service?
Like any other politician, John Key is incredibly sensitive to social media. He’s all too aware that public channels like Facebook can be hugely powerful in the hands of ordinary individua ls.
It’s important that you speak from the heart when you leave your message. But if you need ideas, here are some things you could consider including:
- Why you think the Auckland 24 hour crisis service is important
- What message the government would send by failing to support it
- What impact this would have on your support for the government
Stand with Kirsty, the centre’s staff and the thousands who depend on them — tell John Key why he should save this crucial service on Facebook now.
Just days into its new term, John Key’s government is already under pressure. And it’s about to skyrocket — at midday, Kirsty and supporters are organising an attention-grabbing media stunt that’s sure to make headlines, and draw even more support for their cause.
PM Key is desperate to maintain public goodwill — and he’ll be anxiously monitoring the press and social media for more signs of opposition. Leaving a message on his Facebook will drive home the message that each and every signature represents a real voter whose support he stands to lose if he doesn’t act.
Click here to join Kirsty, and send John Key a message on Facebook.
Hundreds of messages on his wall will add to the media storm, and Kirsty’s a ttention-grabbing stunt today — he’ll have no choice but to listen.
Thanks for being part of this,
Nick and the Change.org team
