Rachel MacGregor @rachelmacg.bsky.social · 16/11/2023Went to see my local MP today about Gaza. It went surprisingly well and I've just heard the govt is going to be calling for a ceasefire! Thank freaking goodness 🙏 230
Rachel MacGregor @rachelmacg.bsky.social · 14/11/2023Don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking that standing against genocide is being against a particular ethnic group of people. Standing against genocide is simply pro humanity. There are enough horrendous diseases and accidents that take us humans out without us turning against each other. 16016
Rachel MacGregor @rachelmacg.bsky.social · 13/11/2023Can our govt please stop using the self defence line? That was relevant in the days immediately after the Hamas attack. It's completely ridiculous now. Update your lines already. #nzpol 1303

Rachel MacGregor @rachelmacg.bsky.social · 05/11/2023In 2008 TVNZ sent me to Rwanda. I saw the aftermath of genocide. I wondered how the world could've done nothing while it happened... now I know. I won't sit back and do nothing while I watch another genocide happening before my eyes. 060

Rachel MacGregor @rachelmacg.bsky.social · 27/09/2023Perhaps National think if people were just forced to get a job, any job, their problems would be solved. If only life was that simple.

Rachel MacGregor @rachelmacg.bsky.social · 26/09/2023What a troubling interview.
