In less than three weeks, the International Rebellion will begin. Are you ready to save the world?
This is a busy month for us, full of non-violent direct action training, climate strike actions, and a fast-approaching week of rebellion. Our rebel camp, running in Wellington from October 5th-9th, promises to be fun, inspiring and motivating. If you haven’t already, start making arrangements to be there. And in the meantime, there are loads of ways you can get involved.
What’s coming up
All events are listed here and on facebook.
Every Tuesday in September: Non-Violent Direct Action Training, 6.00-9.00pm
New to NVDA? Need a refresher? Just want to brush up on XR’s approach? Whatever your situation, come along and get prepared for the upcoming week of action, as well as all our other actions going forward. Koha to cover costs appreciated.
The Peace Place, 22 Emily Place, Auckland 1010
Thursday 19th September: Weekly Action Group Meeting 6.30-8.30pm (recurring)
We’ll be planning actions for the next few weeks. New members are always welcome. Come along and help out!
AUT, WG Building, Gate 4, Mayoral Drive, CBD. (up the stairs to your right, in the glass rooms on the 4th floor)
Friday 20th September: Parking Day 6.30am-5.00pm
International Parking Day turns car parks into regular parks, drawing attention to how much of our public space is taken up by cars. XR rebels will be occupying car parks with fun, interactive installations, promoting an environmental message and encouraging a less car-reliant future for our city. We need volunteers, so if you’d like to be involved, contact April on 027 217 3540 – but be warned, we’re starting early!
High Street, Auckland CBD, 1010
Saturday 21st September: Waitakere Banner Painting 10.00am-1.00pm
We’ll be making artwork and materials to be used in future actions. This should be a fun day and a great opportunity to meet your fellow rebels, so if you’re based out west, come along and help out! If you can bring cardboard, corflute or paint, even better. Kids welcome.
Henderson Valley Playcentre, 31 Farwood Drive, Henderson, Auckland 0612
20th-27th September: Climate Strike Week
With the international School Strike for Climate scheduled for September 27th, join us in supporting our rangatahi with an international week of strike actions. More details to come – keep your ear to the ground!
5th-9th October: Week of Action
The International Week of Rebellion is less than three weeks away! Time is running out to book your leave, register your attendance and arrange your travel to Wellington. At this stage travel is self-organised – carpool, bus or hire a van. If you need a ride or can offer one, please get in touch with [email protected] ASAP.
