🙌 Meet the Denniston 11!

Day one: Louie. On December 11th Louie faces trial in Westport as one of the Denniston 11. That means there is just 12 days left to donate to support them to cover legal fees and other costs associated with the trial.

🗣📢 “My practice spans theatre, performance art & poetry. I like weird stuff, that makes you go, wait; what? With the mounting pressure of the 21st century often causing inaction & passivity, I’m supporting the Carnival for Change because the kaupapa is urgent. Change happens when we can imagine it.”

#Climatebreakdown is here, now. Luxury cruises must end.

🛳️ Anthem of the Seas, Royal Caribbean stopped in #Pōneke last weekend 😣. #Cruiseships are responsible for 25% of the waste dumped in our oceans & present a very real danger to marine mammals.

Photo of a city, concrete steps leading up to a statue on a high plinth, with sky scrapers in the background. At the base of the plinth are three people, two are standing holding a large banner, Cruising to a dead planet. A photo of group of people wearing blue handmade ocean themed masks, sitting and standing either side of a pile of seaweed, plastic rubbish, soft toy seals and shells, symbolising the waste that is in ocean. One person is holding a sign that reads, Cruise ships poison our planet. Behind is a blue sheet background, blue sky and green trees in the distance.

🙌 A little more freedom for Rach!
Her bail conditions have changed and she is now on curfew from 7pm - 7am. A huge relief for Rach to have 12 hrs of freedom, as opposed to her original bail conditions of just 2 hrs a day.

🤔 The stupidity of thinking that more coal mines and more fossil fuels is a good idea in a climate crisis.

👉 Bathurst Resources, the biggest coal operator in NZ & their 90% overseas shareholders
👉 Short term employment for the local community…unless Bathurst decide to bail again
