I wish I could join in the March, but I live in the Far North and don't have a car. Nor do we have proper public transport down to Auckland. Or Whangarei for that matter. Everyone seems to assume that NZ stops at Auckland, but there's another 400+ km of Motu to the north, you know!
Good on you Annie! I too am carless. Sorry - Auckland was the only place that had set up a march so far so that's all I could put in the newsletter. We do try find actions around the motu! You could also organise your own protest up there :)
Unfortunately, I wouldn't know how to start and I don't use social media. I'm 69 - maybe someone a bit younger could set it up. I'd be happy to help. However, considering that 2/3 of the houses in Russell are second homes, I don't think I'd get much buy-in here!

Agreed, if only we had long-distance passenger rail!!
