#westandwtihRosemary Action with Restore Passenger Rail

It started with Rosemary and now Jen has joined her in Remand Prison until they appear in Court. All for taking disruptive nonviolent action in the face of successive governments in action on the climate crisis. And the major parties seemingly competing with each other to build more roads/tunnels and undo what structure we have to commence taking the climate crisis seriously.

See here for Rosemary’s statement: https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2023/09/01/rosemary-penwarden-locked-up-simeon-brown-on-the-loose/

And here for Jen’s statement: https://www.facebook.com/restorepassengerrailnz/videos/1235156687175566

Let the government to know they can arrest their way our of a climate crisis.

Join us on Saturday. Help hold placards. Banners and flags. Leaflet the watching public. Help to build the momentum for real action on the climate crisis, letting the Government oh! and Rosemary and Jen know they are supported.
