Need a space to chill out
during the Sevens weekend in Central Wellington? Having problems with
noise, drama or harassment? Want a friendly, safer space to hang during
your night out on the town?
Come along to Glover Park (on
Ghuznee and Garret St), where we will be holding a chill out zone for
those seeking some peace and quiet during the busiest weekend in
Wellington. There will be music, games, refreshments, zine-making and
all around good times!
Please note: This is designed to be a queer/trans*/women/child
friendly, accessible space. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia,
and other forms of oppression will not be tolerated. We ask that all
those using the zone respect the guidelines, and make it welcoming for
those in need.
Today (Saturday) 15:00 until 22:00, Glover Park, Wellington. The space will be in a wheelchair accessible section of the park.

Excellent idea!
Anthea, will you be involved in handling this space?
Because if you are, based on your views as expressed here, I can't regard it as safe
Acid Queen - the space was yesterday, and I had a small role in the planning stages but nothing beyond that.
I don't know what, specifically, you are referring to, but I don't consider myself (individually or as part of a group) capable of making a safe space, hence the 'r'.
