New Fridays for Future group in Marlborough (updated 3/2/2023)

Fridays For Future Kids NZ is a new group starting in Renwick, Marlborough.

Their first protest is 10 February 2023:

  • Fridays 12 noon – 1pm
  • Outside Room 17, Renwick School, Renwick

To start with, only Renwick School pupils will be able to take part – as it is on school grounds.

But they are hoping to move the protest to the nearby community hall, so everyone who wants to protest for climate justice can join in.

Email FFF.Renwick@gmail.com to keep updated.

2023 – a new year of climate protesting

Outside Parliament on 20 Jan 2023

Happy New Year, and Happy Lunar New Year!

It’s still January and there are already two climate protest events to look forward to:

Valentines Day Protest

Tuesday 14 February is when Parliament resumes. We plan to break with our tradition to do a lunchtime protest on the Parliament Lawn on this day. (Tuesday for Future?) As it also happens to be Valentine’s Day, we’re thinking of incorporating this as a theme for our protest. (Valentine’s for Future?)

What are your ideas? Everyone is free to come and join us. Check back here for more details closer to the day.

3 March – Global Fridays for Future action

We are working with School Strike for Climate Ōtautahi ( Christchurch) and Fridays for Future Tamaki Makaurau to plan a (hopefully) nationwide climate protest for 3 March.

If it’s been a while since your last School Strike for Climate protest, t’s time to dust off your protesting boots and reconnect with your fellow climate activists!
