Kia ora rebels,
We had a great Westie catch up last month and everyone is ready to change gear. Here’s what you need to know about your favourite Westie rebels for July:
-
Climate justice means #blacklivesmatter. That’s why we’ve promoting and joining the “Shaped by The System: A response to racism in Aotearoa” talk on Thursday 16 July from 7pm – 9pm at the Corban Estate Arts Centre. #westiesunite
-
Due to the school holidays there won’t be an arts and activities social in July. The next social will be August 15. (FB)
-
Our arts and activities socials will now be held at Henderson Valley Playcentre. After August they will return to the second Saturday of the month at 2pm.

If you are interested in campaign action, including supporting Westie school strikers or researching a campaign target out west, please respond to this email.

We are looking for feedback on a constitutional motion to give Tangata Whenua a stronger voice in Extinction Rebellion at a national level. Feedback or suggestions welcome before by Monday 20 July. We’ll vote on it on it at the next planning meeting.

Our next planning meeting for those actively involved in the branch is Tuesday 21 July at 7:30pm at https://meet.jit.si/XRWaitakere

If you are really keen, you can read the minutes from our last meeting.

We’ve shifted our planning communication from Mattermost (an app) back to Facebook as it is easier to access.
As a final note, my cat is stuck in a lego box. :)
Kind regards,
Simon
