Press Release – ItsOurFuture.org.nz
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.”

Read my blog entry on the Hong Kong protest at guywong.blogspot.com/2014/10/hong-kong-protest.html
The press has been extremely biased with its reporting, interviewing predominantly the protesters and their leaders, criticizing those who oppose the movement, and denigrating the Hong Kong government and police. Their articles concentrate on peaceful protesters yearning for democracy but fail to show the violent and disruptive side of the protest. Hong Kong is actually a very free city with all the characteristics of democracy.
The protest is not a spontaneous student movement but a well funded and well organized anti-government undertaking.
I have also included at the bottom of the blog entry how foreigners are involved in the planning and funding of the protest.
