A billboard campaign to amplify voices for Gaza, challenge indifference, and demand a ceasefire. #kiakahaPalestine

Christchurch, Canterbury

As New Zealanders, can we remain unaffected in our daily lives while atrocities unfold in Gaza? Over 27,000 lives, including 10,000 children, have been tragically lost. The ongoing crisis in Gaza, now identified by the International Court of Justice (the UN's highest court) as a plausible genocide, demands our attention and action.

Our 'Stop the Silence' billboard campaign is more urgent than ever. It's not just about highlighting numbers; it's about amplifying voices calling for a permanent ceasefire and bringing the plight of Palestinians to the forefront of our national consciousness.

Can we continue our routines, sipping flat whites, while Gaza is being relentlessly flattened? The answer should be a resounding no. This campaign is our collective voice, our chance to make a difference. By funding impactful billboards across New Zealand, we keep this critical issue alive in public discourse and challenge the silence surrounding it.

Your support is vital. Every contribution to this campaign is a step towards breaking the cycle of indifference. It's time to raise our voices louder than ever. Use the hashtag #kiakahaPalestine to spread the word and stand in solidarity.

Let's unite to demand action and insist on change. Donate now to the 'Stop the Silence' campaign and be a part of this crucial mission for humanity and justice in Gaza.
