New Zealand gang leaders unite to urge community to get Covid shots

Gangs put aside their differences make video calling on the public to get the vaccine after Mori minister came up with the idea

Seven New Zealand gang leaders, representing four of the countries most well-known street gangs, have joined forces in a video urging their communities to get vaccinated, in a concept that was conjured up by a government minister.

The video was commissioned by the minister for Maori development, Willie Jackson, after a discussion with gang leaders, who then provided footage that was edited by Jackson's son, Hikurangi, the Herald reported.
