Holding Auckland Council to account:
Council measures emissions in the city once every two years. This makes a mockery of Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland Climate Plan with goals of halving emissions by 2030 and zero emissions by 2050. These goals of course are not good enough to keep to the Paris Agreement of less than and preferably 1.5 postindustrial temperature increase. But measuring every two years! Like Really!!
This action is ongoing with a delegation invited by Pippa Coombes, Deputy Chair Environment and Climate Action Committee and submissions to the Finance & Performance Committee plus the Planning Committee. Please support this ongoing action. Contact Mairi by text 020 40417695.
Conscientious Protectors: The story of Extinction Rebellion
Monday September 5th 6.30 PM West City Events Cinemas.
This is the untold story of how in April 2019 Extinction Rebellion rallied the largest civil disobedience of a generation holding London to ransom for 10 days forcing the Government to meet and discuss their three demands to avert the climate crisis. With exclusive access to the Extinction Rebellion (XR) movement, this flyon the wall documentary tells their story. This monumental feat took months and months of planning and we followed the key co-founders on XR through their planning to the streets.
This is the World Premier. We have talking rights prior to the film and a Q & A after. Red Rebels will show you to your seats.

Taking the campaign into the District Court
August Tuesday 23rd 9.30. The three arrestees up against the police in Court. Three hours are allowed for the police to give evidence, including a video, that we defaced ANZ property. We are presenting to Court why we painted on the footpath and that the real criminal here is the ANZ for ecocidal investments. The Red Rebels were previously the stimulus for the Judge to be educated about Extinction Rebellion.
Support this action in Court by being in the public gallery
Vote Climate/Keep it cool
Vote Climate is a broad coalition of unions, climate action, public transport, walking groups and cycling groups working together to encourage our politicians to do the right thing – invest to keep it cool.

Check you are enrolled to vote here: https://vote.nz/enrolling/
Extinction Rebellion Tamaki Makaurau is supporting the Vote Climate campaign and collaborating with other climate action groups to build the campaign. A critical part of the city getting to zero emissions is people getting out of the private vehicles. This will only happen with effective other options. Watch for the upcoming actions.

Songs for Climate Action
Have you checked out the Songs for Climate album yet? Are you a musician and can join this group of creatives:

Work with Margaret for the banners, flags and placards. If thisis how you can make a difference text Margaret now: 0224743073.
Cyber activist Group
Disruption can happen in different ways. You can block a coal mine. Or a street.
Or, you can puncture the slick and carefully crafted marketing glitz with a well placed comment on social media. Or distract the energy and resources of their back-office to deal with frivolous queries.
That’s what the eRebellion is all about – rebels holding the polluters to account on their social media pages, asking pointed questions of politicians in public forums, trolling deniers, disrupting polluters, and generally keeping climate change in the public conscience.
Want to find out more? Register your interest by sending an email to [email protected] and we’ll be in touch.
Fashion Rebellion:
We need ethically made, sustainable clothes. FFF is working with the Up Cycle collective giving us many more options. To join email Lucy-Mae [email protected]
Public Talks
Wednesdays Brian & Gill are going around the University and Polytech campuses.
We are getting requests and initiating talks to encourage people to join the rebellion. You can help with supporting the person giving the talk. This includes handing out leaflets, getting signatures on the petition and people to sign up to the newsletter. Talking with people may get more people being active with us. So you don’t need to be a public speaker as there is lots more support needed. Contact Brian 0211597487 or Gill 021869677
Buddhist Rebels
There is a long tradition of civil disobedience in Buddhism. Join a group of Buddhists here in Tamaki Makaurau to take relevant actions together: Text Gill 02189677

Scientist Rebellion
Do you have a science background? Are you a scientist? There are an increasing number of scientists collaborating, joining together for climate action. The narrative is something like ‘We have been talking for years telling the world what we are finding regarding the climate crisis. Too little if any notice is being taken. We feel we have no choice other than to publicly bring this out in the open through nonviolent civil disobedience’
If this is you, text Brian: 0211597487
Red Rebels:
A fabulous group of Red Rebels is established. Do you enjoy a little drama? Want to be part of street theatre? This maybe your place in the Rebellion.

KŌRERO PONO MAI
Me kōrero pono, me tika ngā kōrero a Te Kāwanatanga, me ū anō hoki ia ki te pono me te tika e pā ana ki ngā āhuatanga o te taiao, mō tōna hurihanga me te ootaxa potapotae āhuarangi. Me ngana ia ki te mahi tahi me rōpu kē atu ki te whakapuaki i tēnei āhuaranga mōrearea.
SPEAK CANDIDLY AND WITH INTEGRITY
The Government must be sincere and honest, and must abide so concerning the state of the environment, its alteration and the imminent and inevitable worldwide climate and ecological emergency. The Government must work together with other groups and bodies to declare the impending disaster.
Looking forward to seeing you at meetings, over coffee, and ongoing at actions
as together we Rebel to change the system
to live within planetary boundaries
