From Whangārei to Invercargill, thousands are expected to take to the streets in Friday’s climate strike.
But it is not just about the climate crisis: The event is led by a coalition including Toitū Te Tiriti, Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa, and School Strike 4 Climate.
They have six demands. To keep the ban on oil and gas exploration, end the Fast Track Approvals Bill, toitū te Tiriti o Waitangi, climate education for all, lower the voting age to 16 and to “free Palestine”.
That’s good to know.
I’m stuck in bed at the moment with extreme vertigo so I can only look at still images from the protest - I’m obviously not getting the “whole picture”.
