Stand for the Amazon (Auckland)
September 5, 2019, 11:30 am - 1:30 pm
The Amazon is burning, threatening local communities and life on this planet. The Brazilian government directly contributes to the catastrophe, with an increasing rate of deforestation.
On 5th September, there is a global action to protest this global catastrophe and ask for immediate intervention.
We will be standing peacefully in public space with screens showing recent photos and declarations. We’ll wear black and symbolic black marks / soot across the face.
Signs, “make up”, and wipes to remove it will be provided. Please wear black and bring a fully charged laptop or tablet if you have one. If you are bringing a laptop or a tablet, a file will be available for download by Wednesday. If you can’t bring a device, don’t worry – your presence there counts and we’ll have signs.
There will be a briefing before we take position.
