Rally Saturday 8 June – Wellington Te Whanganui-a-Tara

Face­book event https://www.facebook.com/events/987443623094495/

Thou­sands of job loss­es. Rolling attacks on Te Tir­i­ti o Wai­t­an­gi. No-cause evic­tions and sell­ing off pub­lic hous­ing. Cuts to our pub­lic trans­port, health and edu­ca­tion. It is clear — this gov­ern­ment has waged eco­nom­ic war on every­day peo­ple in Aotearoa.

Their approach isn’t new. Tak­ing from our col­lec­tive pool to line the pock­ets of pri­vate inter­ests is a tried and true method of mov­ing resources away from our com­mu­ni­ties and forc­ing more and more of the basics of life into busi­ness­es to be prof­it­ed from. It puts prof­its over peo­ple, and our liv­ing world. For what?

We are call­ing on com­mu­ni­ties based in Te Wh?nganui-a-Tara to hit the streets and ral­ly togeth­er Sat­ur­day 8th June to say NO to the cuts, and uni­fy our voic­es for a future where every­one has what they need to thrive.

Through a vision for an Aotearoa that is fair and flour­ish­ing, where Te Tir­i­ti o Wai­t­an­gi is hon­oured prop­er­ly, and for an eco­nom­ic sys­tem there­fore that puts the well­be­ing of peo­ple and our plan­et above cor­po­rate prof­it- we can uni­fy, act, and build toward real change. Now is the time to act togeth­er.

The key kau­pa­pa of this ral­ly are:

Toit? Te Tir­i­ti: Hon­our Te Tir­i­ti o Wai­t­an­gi
Stop the cuts to our pub­lic ser­vices
Stop the cor­po­rate takeover of our gov­ern­ment
