#EndSARS #StopPoliceBuratality
End Special Anti-Robbery Squad (End SARS) or #EndSARS is a social movement in Nigeria that started on "Nigerian Twitter" opposing the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a unit of the Nigeria Police Force. It is a call to end police oppression and brutality in Nigeria. The campaign started as a social media campaign using the hashtag #ENDSARS to demand for Nigerian government to scrap and end the deployment of Nigeria Police Force Special Anti-Robbery Squad, popularly known as SARS. Nigerians have shared stories and video evidences of how members of SARS engaged in kidnapping, murder, theft, rape, torture, unlawful arrest, high-handedness, humiliation, unlawful detention, extrajudicial killings, and extortion.
SARS officers profile youths based on appearance.They mount illegal road blocks, conduct illegal ‘stop and search’, breaking and entry, and operate without search warrants. The unit faces allegations that its operatives harass, oppress, and extort young Nigerians for wearing or using status symbols like iPhones, luxury vehicles, and sneaker brands such as Nike or Adidas. The unit is also notorious for harassing people who have piercings, tattoos, dreadlocks, and gold chains, though many SARS officers also bear these body modifications and styles. This has been attributed to feelings of inferiority amongst the police

Allow Essential Maintenance of Golf Courses During Lockdown Period
MBIE have determined that golf course turf maintenance is not an essential service during the Covid-19 lockdown period. If critical parts of any golf course (namely putting greens) do not receive basic maintenance over the shutdown period, the task of restoring the greens to required standards/conditions may not be achievable or affordable for many golf clubs. The long term financial impacts for these clubs, and consequently for the many NZ’ers who enjoy the game, will be far reaching. Please

Preserve the Eskdale Park in the Esk Valley Napier
Petition summary: The HB Mountain Bike Club and the Hastings District Council have put forth a proposal to develop the Eskdale Park into a mountain bike hub with further future plans of development.

It deserves to be protected and set up as a natural reserve and green space for families to enjoy both now and i

Re-open the sale yards
COVID-19 shut down our sale yards but now we desperately need to have these re-opened, particularly in areas like Hawke's Bay where severe drought is having a major impact. Hawke's Bay farmers are currently facing what may be the worst drought in history, and the situation is compounded by the loss of the sale yards - an avenue of selling that the majority of farmers know well and have ultilised in the past. Other regions are also under significant feed pressure and would benefit from sale yards

Footpath for Kyle Road, Schnapper Rock, 人行道, 보행자 도로
We need children to be safe. We need a footpath along the whole length of Kyle Road.
