COP 26: Rise up for the Climate Nov 3-7

Activist from across Aotearoa are teaming up for four days of skill-sharing, wānanga, networking and non-violent direct actions. The 5th of November is the day colonial troops invaded Parihaka after 22 years of bloody war across the country for land and resources. A war which has never ended and links directly to ruling class oppression, white supremacy, extractivism and now global warming. The 6th of November is a Global Day of Action for Climate Justice.
