Launch: Protect Protest Aotearoa

We’ve been getting concerned at what we see as a series of attacks on the right to protest, both here and in countries like Australia and the United Kingdom. The right to protest is an important civil liberty and an important part of our democracy.

After talking to other people and groups who share our concerns we’ve joined together to form Protect Protest Aotearoa. We’re going to work together to defend the right to protest in Aotearoa New Zealand.

On Wednesday October 15th we’re launching our campaign and our new website (spoiler: it’s https://protectprotest.nz/ ) at a viewing of Operation 8, the documentary about the misguided police ‘anti-terror’ raids in 2007. You’re invited!

Location: Room GBLT1 at the VUW Pipitea Campus
Date: Wednesday 15th October
Time: 4:30pm
