Danni Wilkinson has been in health-care for over twenty years, first as a nurse and now as an independent midwife. As a nurse she spearheaded the Nightingales Fight for Fair Pay campaign in 2018, angering the DHB, nurse union NZNO, and Winston Peters, who called her a liar on air. For the last seven years she has continued to be involved in activism, focusing on nurse safety, anti-racism, violence against women, abortion rights, and LGBTQ+ interests. She has organized, spoken at rallies and to the media, and shown up to do what’s needed. Right now she’s working to organize against the current government’s ongoing gutting of our national health services.
