Use social media

Almost all politicians use social media. For many, it is their primary way they communicate with the public and local communities. This makes it a powerful way to get in touch and make your voice heard.

How you can help:

  • Alzheimers NZ is on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Bluesky.
  • Share our posts with your followers. You can add a message with the post and tag any local politicians or public figures so they will see it and may respond.
  • You can also tag us #AlzheimersNZ in posts so we can share them and show how we are uniting for dementia mate wareware.

Tips:

  • Keep your message short and simple
  • Provide links for more information, or direct people to our website alzheimers.org.nz
  • Use the ‘@’ function to tag relevant people or organisations, which increases the chances they will see your post.
