New Zealand: Activists to stage rally at Te Komititanga Square in Britomart area of Auckland May 26

Activists affiliated with various civil society organizations plan to stage a protest at Te Komititanga Square in the Britomart area of Auckland from 12:00 May 26. The purposes of the rally are to denounce cuts to funding flexibility for disabled individuals and caretakers as well as to demand greater funding for housing modifications and equipment for disabled persons. The demonstration is scheduled to run until at least 13:30. Rally organizers have signaled that at least 30 people would participate in the protest.

Authorities will likely deploy a heightened security presence to the demonstration site to monitor the rally. The protest and any heightened security measures that authorities may impose could cause localized transport disruptions.
