2021-09-03 05:36:09 Midday Break Check In: Please post any questions, concerns, or progress that you've made today Open / Comment

2021-09-02 23:51:45 Good Morning Team! Today is an important day where we need to write some emails & keep the pressure up! Please read the action plan for today. I have even written your main statement (just copy & paste).

Write an email to the Prime Minister, the Premier, and your local State MP. All their details can be found online but Gladys email is; gladys.berejiklian@parliament.nsw.gov.au

ALSO! Write an email to your Schools governing body or Association. Details and contacts are below;

CEO of Catholic Schools NSW - Dallas McInerney. Email his secretary margaret.limbrey@csnsw.catholic.edu.au

CEO of AIS (independent schools) - Geoff Newcombe Gnewcombe@aisnsw.edu.au

CEO of Marist Schools Australia - Frank Malloy. Email address is frank.malloy@marists.org.au

Dept of Education - Your Director and Georgina Harrison secretary@mail.education.nsw.gov.au

Email the one that applies to you and if I've missed yours then please contact them. EVERYONE must write to the PM, the Premier, and you local State MP and then whatever association your school is a part of.

This also applies to Child Care Workers, support staff, admin staff, and even parents who have kids at these schools.

Write from the heart and then include the following paragraph;

"The mandate is an unprecedented act of government coercion that should be of grave concern to all Australians.

With regard to the NSW Education Ministers mandate for school staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by 8 November 2021, I know of a significant number of teachers and ancillary staff who hold deeply held objections to being vaccinated. What provisions will you be advocating in order to accommodate conscientious objectors?

As a concerned citizen with inalienable human rights, could you also please provide me with substantiated scientific evidence that shows that covid vaccines are safe, effective, and necessary."

Please just follow the above actions and if you can't find details just research online.

A reminder, if by now you are receiving generic responses from the Unions or from any of the above then just activate the Level 3 letter which is pinned on this channel.

C'mon team we can do this! Fire up & go hard! Open / Comment

2021-09-02 10:45:01 Good evening all. It's been a big day and an even bigger week. We are making progress. We are gaining ground.

Sometimes we need to unwind. I've been contacted by various people offering to help in many ways I.e. spiritually, emotionally and via meditation. Your wellbeing is important so please take some time out.

In the comments section feel free to leave some ideas, links, articles, meditation, prayers etc for all to connect with whatever they feel comfortable with. Open / Comment

2021-09-02 07:07:28 UPDATE: I hope you are all doing well today. I know by now you're receiving responses from Amnesty which seem pretty generic but that's ok. We are making noise and they are taking notice.

You'd also be receiving some scary letters from the Unions and the school associations you're a part of. This is standard procedure to try and scare as many people into getting vaccinated. Just sit tight. At any moment send them a level 3 letter if you get anything personally addressed to you.

I've also been dealing with other professions from the Police, Emergency, Nurses, and Fire services. They have been inspired by our movement and will be creating their own United group like ours.

Stay strong team. We've got this. Open / Comment

2021-09-02 03:22:52 Another article that mentions our petition. We are starting to be heard. Keep up your spirits team and remember we hold the moral high ground

2021-09-02 01:31:51 Good morning Team! Checking In to make sure you're all up and about in positive spirits. Remember stick to the game plan. We have lots to do.

Today is Amnesty International and if you feel like continuing on with some social media questions of concerns please feel free to do so. You have every right to be concerned and ask questions. Also share the article from Caldron Pool talking about the petition.

Level 3 letters are for those really getting the hard word put on them. This is a genuine letter of concern looked over by a lawyer. It will buy us time.

You can also send the Level 3 letters to your Unions who have given you an unsupportive generic response.

If you receive general correspondence today from the Unions or your school governing body PLEASE don't stress about it. Stay focused and stay strong. Open / Comment

2021-09-01 14:28:16 Here is the Level 3 letter:

Remember this goes out to anyone being pressured to provide vaccination status asap or by next week.

Also send to the Unions after they respond with their generic email.

Stand up. Stand strong. We will win. Open / Comment

2021-09-01 14:00:48 SUMMARY OF WEDNESDAY ZOOM:

We are speaking with Human Rights Advocacy Lawyers who will publish our official Statement of Position to all relevant Ministers and Authorities signed by 3000 teachers. More info to come.

THURSDAY - Email Amnesty International Australia;

• Go to the website - go to contact us - click Submit form
• Write to them: You are being coerced into taking a vaccination otherwise you will be dismissed from your job. Ask them: Isn’t this a human rights issue? Speak from your heart and let them know how you feel. It doesn’t matter if you get a generic response back, it will make noise, it will build up awareness.

FRIDAY - Write letters to any governing school association that you are apart of (E.g if you are a part of the Catholic Wollongong Diocese - send the letter to them; if you are apart of the AIS - send the letter to them, Dept, etc)

• No template: It needs to come from your heart.
• Don’t refuse, don’t reject, no statements of objection or consent.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
• Teachers being pressured to show evidence of vaccination by September 8th:
• Level 3 letter: Approved by our lawyer.
• Copy and paste the letter to your principal if they demand your status for next week. Even if it's a general email to staff.
• This same letter is now to be used to reply back to the Unions.

FURTHER ADVICE:
• Access your school/GP counselling services!
• DET: EAP counselling service: USE IT! They are keeping records of these conversations and creating reports. It is also important to look after your own mental health during this time and get the help for the anxiety and uncertainty you are facing during this time. 1800 818 728.
• Catholic Schools: Also have these services - look for your mental health counsellor service, let them know how you feel and let them document it. 
• If it gets too much, contact your GP and ask to be put on a mental health plan - this all adds up.

REMEMBER:
• You have a right to privacy, especially medical privacy. 
• Don’t forget your code of conduct 

It is important that we focus on what we can do as a collective and united group. Stay with us and stay connected because when you’re going through those dark times, someone from this group will be there to pick you up.

Level 3 letter to follow on next post. Open / Comment
