UNBELIEVABLE!!
Just after the two cyclones and floods made 20% worse by the climate crisis, IPCC AR6 comes out (See here https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/) demonstrating it is not too late to take action but it must be now.
Then the government cancels a whole lot of policies directly addressing the climate crisis.
UNBELIEVABLE!!
We have no choice but to do what works: non-violent civil disobedience.

Are you getting ready for the disruptive action RPR & XR are using to move things along more quickly? If so this training is for you. While this is a 4.5 hour workshop, it is not an introduction to NVDA. It is preferably you have attended a Restore Passenger Rail Talk. However all are welcome. Contact Sarah 0210651677
Stop the Polluters
We have shut down Fonterra HQ for three hours. We joined Greenpeace creating a virtual flood around the Fonterra HQ. Join us for the next action – making sure the worst corporate polluters know we know. Needed for these actions are leafleters, Banner holders, De-escalator, police liaison and media liaison. Plus if you are really pissed off at their audacity to put our very existence at risk you may be willing to risk arrest. It is best if you have done nonviolent training first. So come along on Saturday.
We will be targeting Fonterra again. The Z Energy while we are in Te Whanganui a Tara/Wellington. Then BP, Mobil, Wiri Transfer station.
Join the fun plus make a difference.
