If you are an NZ writer or publisher (or adjacent) who is appalled by the genocide taking place in Gaza, please join me in signing this open letter, demanding our government take concerted action to call it out.

As signatories of the UN Declaration of Rights, could we not sue the government for their attack on our health system and social services? Serious question.
