Face Up For Our Future
Face Up For Our Future is a virtual protest campaign running alongside the 7 March Nationwide day of Action. It’s easy – download and print off this file, then write in how you describe yourself – a nurse, a worker, a husband, a mother, a dentist, a concerned citizen, a peacemaker (the list is endless) – and take a photo of yourself holding the sign. Then either upload it to our facebook group or email us and we’ll take it from there. And be sure to include the hashtags #TPPANoDeal, #TPPANoWay and #FaceUpForOurFuture!

This is a great way to support the campaign and already an impressive array of people have put their face to the cause. We will have some roving camera people working on getting snaps at some of our protests, and it’s also a great way to support us if you can’t make it to a march.
 
Local meeting in Auckland tonight!
Auckland: ‘High Noon for the TPPA’, 5.30pm Thursday 5 March, Case Room 3, Owen Glenn Building, Auckland University, speakers Barry Coates, Pat Neuwelt, Prof Jane Kelsey

PM Key confronted in Christchurch
Remember when John Key was confronted by protesters while speaking to an audience of farmers in Oxford a few weeks ago? Well it turns out somebody captured his description of the TPPA on video, where he conveniently missed out describing most of the chapters of the agreement and their impact on NZ. However he wasn’t able to get away with this, and a few weeks later in Christchurch was confronted by a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet asking for answers on TPPA’s Investor-State Dispute Settlement Provisions. Check out the video here!
