Events are created in three locations and then shared in a group’s newsletter and on other platforms.
Who promotes events?
Local groups are responsible for promoting local events. Contact your local Communications Working Group.
Nationally, the Communications Admin Sub Working Group is responsible for national events. If your local group doesn’t have access to Action Network or the website yet, please identify a volunteer, and they can use the National Event contact form. We’ll show them how to get access to and instructions on how to use them.

How are events promoted?
1. Create an Action Network event
This ensures people who RSVP to our events are signed up to our membership list and are automatically added to local groups newsletter lists etc.
The “base” event is created on our website. Events are displayed:
- On the front page for major events
- On the act page (https://extinctionrebellion.nz/act/#events)
- On local groups pages (i.e. https://extinctionrebellion.nz/auckland)
- On the master calendar at https://extinctionrebellion.nz/events
3. Create a facebook event
The event is promoted on facebook where most of our supporters are.
An RSVP link to the main event must be included so new members are added to our membership list and we collect their contact details.
4. Share the event in a groups newsletter
A group newsletter is an invaluable tool for have one place that all headline activity, including upcoming events, is summarised. It also ensures people who aren’t on facebook
5. Share the event elsewhere
Twitter, Instagram etc.
