Election Roadshow for Climate: Auckland/Tāmaki Makaurau

Wednesday September 16 at 12:30pm, next to Devonport Ferry Terminal

The Election Roadshow for Climate is an initiative of Extinction Rebellion Aotearoa New Zealand, with support from Aotearoa Climate Emergency, to put the climate and ecological emergency at the front and centre of the 2020 election.

The Roadshow starts concurrently from Bluff and Cape Reinga on September 14 and ends at Parliament in Wellington on September 25. It aims to promote a declaration of a climate and ecological emergency, a Citizens’ Assembly on climate, and a green economic recovery as election issues by telling voters where their local candidates stand on each of these ideas.
