“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.”

Several hundred protesters gathered near the famous bull sculpture in New York's financial district to protest the proposed $700 billion dollar bailout of the financial sector. The bailout involves the federal government buying up billions of dollars in worthless mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (little pieces of different mortgages stuck together to make bonds).
The protesters offered their junk to the federal government. Because if Uncle Sam will buy Wall Street's bad investments, why not yours?
February 12, 2010 - The Olympic Torch was passed through parts of Vancouver through the day, en route to the stadium for Opening Ceremonies. But it was blocked at Commercial Drive by protesters, and re-routed.
Critics of the Games say the money spent on hosting the Olympics could have been used to address issues of poverty, housing and homelessness, education and misappropriation of first nations territories, instead of corporate branding, surveillance, and criminalising free speech.
