The lead-up to Saturdays protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government cant ignore, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.Nationwide day of action against TPPA: “Ignore us at your peril” government warned
“The lead-up to Saturday’s protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government can’t ignore”, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.
A video shows young activists publicising Saturday’s nationwide protests with footage from Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Nelson.
Action in the 22 centres starts at 10am in Raglan and many of the larger centre marches begin at 1pm, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
“People have been incredibly creative”, Miller said. “In Christchurch a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet will be marching in the crowd, while Auckland will be led by an enormous Trojan Horse, locked in a tug-of-war between major commercial interests and activist communities.”
“Around the country everyday kiwis will be photographed for a virtual campaign with signs saying ‘I am a ___________ and I say #TPPANoDeal.’ Already this campaign has been very popular.”
“Trade minister Tim Groser needs to recognise that people don’t buy the ‘trust me’ line. They want to be listened to when they say they don’t want the TPPA. And they deserve to be listened to.”

The demonstrators, after having penetrated the red zone around the fence since day one of the G8 meet-up, managed to walk to the entrance in the fence that is in Hinter Bollhagen.
As we arrived, the police was already blocking the access and did let pass only people with an official press pass, which only one of us had. The other three (including me) went back, then through the woods and fields, to the gathering point.
We arrived just as the helicopters were landing, deposing troups. The cops at the beginning were not enough to stop some of the demonstrators (very few) to reach the fence. Those were nonetheless promptly arrested.
The day went on peacefully, with clowns providing the show, and a group getting twice entirely naked in front of the cops.
At some point, the cops decided to clear the demonstration and used the water-canons (and once some tear gas). 8 water-canons were there that day (as horses and dogs).
People pushed back on the cops, but after around half an hour, the police had managed to go forth as they wanted. The demonstrators then slowly started going back to the camps.
As the police was about to push forward and use the water-canons, an officer told the crowd :
"- Here is the police speaking. Do not panick. We need a bit more room up here, so we are going to move forward a bit."
They did it. A few minutes later, he said the same thing, and they pushed again.
German police has a certain sense of humor.

This shot from the early 90s is of a protest in Central, which is organized every year. The demonstrators are asking for donations to fund various causes. In this case, they are going without food for 30 hours in the name of democracy.
Protesters gathered in opposition to Donald Trumps' EPA nominee, Scott Pruitt, Attorney General of Oklahoma. Scott Pruitt is ordered by an Oklahoma City court to publicly release his emails with dirty energy companies, a member of his own party has also said she will vote against his appointment as head of the Environmental Protection Agency. Pruitt’s actions have already made it clear he wants to dismantle the EPA – as Oklahoma attorney general he sued the agency at least 14 times. His allegiance is clearly with the dirty energy giants who have supported him for years.
Protesters at the Webster, TX Post Office. Complaining about "Jewish Snake Bernake" "Obamaitler" and "Hitler Reid"
One of the protesters was also standing at the post office doors handing out fliers and literature. I'm surprised this was allowed. Signs in the yard are one thing, standing at the doorway handing out literature is another.
