On 3 March in Wellington, we are holding a march fron Civic Square to Parliament

Please come to support our call for climate justice. This is an intergenerational event, so bring your friends and family! (As well as snacks, water, sun protection and protest placards.)

Meet at Civic Square at 2pm

From there we will march to Parliament with our protest signs and chanting, arriving at 3pm.

At Parliament there will be speeches and we will present our demands to invited Members of Parliament.

This event is a collaboration between Fridays for Future Te Upoko o Te Ika and School Strike For Climate Te Whanganui-a-tara.

We made an online pamphlet with all the details you need

The pamphlet has the schedule of events, karakia, chants and lyrics to The Climate Song which is the feature of the sing-a-long at Parliament.

You can view it from here.

Or you can scan the QR code when you get to Civic Sq. We’ll be wandering around with printed QR code posters for people to scan.

And for those without a smartphone, there is a small number of printed copies, also at Civic Square.

Help us promote this event

You can help promote the event:

• by sharing the Facebook event
• by downloading and printing this poster (in Dropbox), and putting them up in your neighbourhood, school or workplace.

There are also climate strikes elsewhere in New Zealand

This and other strike events are on the SS4C NZ Facebook page.

Sing for the Climate (Do it now)

This is a great song (to the tune of Bella Ciao) to sing whenever we protest at Parliament –

We need to wake up

We need to wise up

We need to open our eyes

And do it now now now

We need to build a better future

And we need to start right now

——

We’re on a planet

That has a problem

We need to solve it, get involved

And do it now now now

We need to build a better future

And we need to start right now

—–

Make it greener

Make it cleaner

Make it last, make it fast

And do it now now now

We need to build a better future

And we need to start right now

—-

No point in waiting

Or hesitating

We must get wise, take no more lies

We need to build a better future

And we need to start right now
