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.”

Tamil protesters have been demonstrating for several weeks on the green outside Parliament in London against the continuing violence in Sri Lanka. On several occasions they have blocked nearby streets. At 10.30 on the 11th May about 500 demonstrators occupied nearby streets, soon after midday the demonstrators numbered about 1500. The Police were still trying to clear all the streets late in the evening.
Parliament's Gates were closed for much of the day to prevent protesters getting access.
"Tropic thunder, its a blunder!", chanted the protesters against the movie Tropic Thunder for using the "R word".
Pictures of people with disabilities were on posters along with handicapped people being pushed around in their wheelchairs in that cluster of people.
They were really passionate about the cause.

Thousands of people gathered at Philadelphia City Hall on May 1st to observe International Workers Day.
Some people were just there to listen to Democratic Party leader Bernie Sanders but they also heard "Free Palestine" chants as he spoke and saw Palestine flags from numerous people, including from a loud Revolutionary Mayday Contingent.
After Sanders ended his speech, the remaining Mayday participants -still a thousand strong - took the streets around city hall and down N. Broad Street. The march was led by large contingents of Unite Herre and AFSCME members. The Revolutionary Mayday Contingent was most energetic, growing to well over a hundred people in size as it chanted continuously on Palestine, against capitalism and imperialism and other popular issues.
At N. Broad and Vine St., police blocked the entrances to the Vine St. Expressway, I676, where 75 participants sat down in the middle of the street, in front of a "Workers, not billionaires" banner. The whole group of UAW, Unite Here, a couple City Council members, and other protestors were zip-tied, arrested and taken away by cops.
The Revolutionary Mayday Contingent's flier:
•All workers have a right to organize and a union!
•Migrant workers and refugees are welcome here!
•We condemn US/Israeli Indigenous displacement and genocide in Palestine!
•We oppose white supremacy, national chauvinism, homo/transphobia, misogyny, & ableism.
•We support freedom/self-determination for all oppressed nations & peoples.
•End capitalism. Save the planet!
•Down with U.S. imperialism. No more wars!
•We are revolutionaries fighting for a future with a right to food, housing, healthcare, education, transportation and other necessities of life.

Part of Tate Britain's Don McCullin retrospective (February to May 2019)
This exhibition showcases some of the most impactful photographs captured over the last 60 years. It includes many of his iconic war photographs – including images from Vietnam, Northern Ireland and more recently Syria. But it also focuses on the work he did at home in England, recording scenes of poverty and working class life in London’s East End and the industrial north, as well as meditative landscapes of his beloved Somerset, where he lives.
Sir Don McCullin was born in 1935 and grew up in a deprived area of north London. He got his first break when a newspaper published his photograph of friends who were in a local gang. From the 1960s he forged a career as probably the UK’s foremost war photographer, primarily working for the Sunday Times Magazine. His unforgettable and sometimes harrowing images are accompanied in the show with his brutally honest commentaries.

This white-painted bicycle was chained to a signpost in Midtown at a corner along Sixth Avenue (I can't remember the number of the side street). It looked like a memorial to a cyclist killed by a car, and it may have been, but there was also a sign placed right above it mentioning something about Rockefeller and the middle class; it seemed to be making some kind of socioeconomic statement.
Two protesters debate with police about whether they're allowed to have the yellow and black panel they brought into the park. Police eventually decided they were allowed to keep it. Under the new park rules, large backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, and tarps are not allowed. Other large items appear to be a grey area for now.
