Something is happening. In 2 weeks, this movement has not only started a national conversation about the NIS funds, it has delivered a successful March in Bridgetown.
However, this was not all. We forced the Senators to delays the passing of the bill that outlines the new structure of the NIS being a corporation. We caused the newspapers to carry articles about the proposed changes, we even caused the PM to react, asking for the private sector's support. The silence of the 2 larger trade unions was deafening. However, our boisterous chatter an action also caused the NUPW's leadership to react even though, by his response it was apparent that he did not want to offend the government. We have heard that the BWU will be having a meeting later today.
It is now apparent that we have become an inspiration for another entity that is being disadvantaged, to start a petition, Savvy on the Beach.
It does not stop there. It now seems that the awakening that was started by-Mongomery Alabama brawl has sailed into Barbados. The outrage that has been festering about the QEH is now set to take on a life of its own.
The Administration cannot be happy, wherever they turn from now on there will be turmoil.
This time gimmicks and giveaways in the form of books for primary school children will not work.
Yesterday the announcement that $US 40M will leave Barbados annually added insult to injury, as no further explanation has been given on the 'investments.'
I believe that we are now the cusp of a new Emancipation. Things will get worst. However we the people are nearing the point of no return and there will be no turning back.
Be encouraged that a new dawn is coming. We will persevere. Continue to share this petition as though your life and the lives of your future generations depend on it.
