Calling it out every single time when you see/hear it, making sure the people affected have support. It’s scary as hell. Writing to MPs. Donating to the @manaakicollective.bsky.social for those who don’t have parliamentary security to protect them. Challenging family members & the patriarchy.

"It falls upon us to be putting our bodies on the line to help protect those people who are vulnerable," Kluwe says. "I know there are a lot of members of the LGBTQ community that want to protest, but it is not safe for them. If that means that I'm the one on the dais, if I'm the one getting arrested, if that's what it takes, well, then I'm willing to do that."

Anonymous NZ group set up to combat racism praised by Amnesty International Meg de Ronde says freedom of speech isn't an excuse for racist rhetoric.

"With hate speech, death threats, threats of violence so explicit, some New Zealand homes, including families with children, have evacuation plans in place in case someone arrives to carry out those threats."
