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.”

Ahh...There's nothing like a mob of angry plushies to start your day off.
What Started as a peaceful protest for Draggy (because he's saved all his coins, and yet the petshop will not release wedding stuff, and really, that's all he's asking for) has turned into an angry mob of plushies supporting the cause....
Beware the angry plushies!

On November 5th, 2008, Proposition 8 was passed by California voters by a margin of 52.5% vs 47.5%. Following the passing of the proposition, many California counties have stopped issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples.

Today we protested.
Today thousands of students (including myself) from all over the country protested against high tuition fees, many walking out of school, college and uni. I thought the response was fantastic and was surprised by how many people actually bothered but I was proud of everyone!

I am usually in Grafton Street on a Sunday, these were taken Saturday, instead of the usual selection of buskers, it was more political than usual with an anti fur protest outside Brown Thomas' (an very exclusive shop, like Harrods in London) and a Falun Gong gathering campaigning for the release of Fang Yang.
