At the Foundation, we're on a mission to support all police workers, whether serving or retired. Our vision is rock-solid: zero suicides among NZ Police. This vision has become even more critical after the tragic spike in two serving police officer deaths last month.

Now, here's the deal. We're not just asking for your "likes" and "shares." No, we're after your voices, your passion, your engagement. Join the conversation because every single one of you matters.

Use #FairBlue to connect and share your thoughts, stories, and ideas. Let's turn this hashtag into a symbol of strength, unity, and unwavering support for our incredible police workers.

We get it; change isn't always a walk in the park and often starts with uncomfortable conversations. But we're ready to have those conversations. We're here to listen, learn, and fight for the well-being of those who tirelessly protect our communities.

So here's your chance to be part of something bigger than the number of likes or shares. Use #FairBlue to share your thoughts, concerns, and support. Together, we'll advocate for the brave men and women who serve and have served in the NZ Police.

Let's turn that 71% into 100% of voices that can't be ignored. Join us, use the hashtag, and let's make a real difference. 💪👮‍♀️👮‍♂️ #FairBlue
