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.”

50000 protesters, according to the organiser Civil Human Rights Front, took part in a rally , from the grass area of the Victoria Park to the headquarter of the Government , on the anniversary of the handover of Hong Kong to China on 1st July 2018.
The Beijing and Hong Kong governments are trying to give increasing suppression to this annual event.
Pro-Beijing Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao called for the rally to be outlawed in the editorial.
For the second year, the usual assembly point for the July 1 rally , football pitches of the Victoria Park , is being given to the proBeijing camp to organise events to celebrate the handover.
Moreover , police rejected the Civil Human Rights Front's request for people to join along the route, warning that they could be arrested for unlawful assembly for doing so.
People requested for ending one party dictatorship and refusal of the deterioration of Hong Kong. Other also asked for release of Liu Xia, equal opportunity for minority group and LGBT, justise of land usage and development.
