We are requesting that you make your voice heard and email your local representatives. Don’t leave politics to politicians! Make sure your voice and your story is heard to give a face to the statistics. The more correspondence local representatives receive the better and the more personal and detailed they are the more chance of success we’ll have.

Guidelines For Lobbying

1. Be specific & refer to the representative’s particular focus of control, e.g:
   What are you intending to do to help the Auckland hospitality industry?
   How are you going to lobby the cabinet to extend the wage subsidy? etc
   .
2. Be positive and offer solutions to the issue raised, e.g:
   You may ask Phil Goff to remove barriers to outdoor trading at hospitality venues to end 2021, to encourage additional customers right up to Christmas.
   .
3. If you voted for them in the last election:
   Tell them that you did because you believed that they cared.
   .
4. Remind them of all the things that you are personally doing to be compliant and to keep people employed.
   Tell them how much it costs you to do this.
