hi Dhanya, Emily and Jenny! Thanks so much for your work - its great for finding out ways to act on climate change :-)

I just wanted to update you on the 3 March climate strike as it is in Wellington. We are now meeting at Civic Square at 2pm, then marching to Parliament (arriving around 3pm).

Previously we were just going to have a rally at Parliament, but then got brave and went for a march first....

thanks

Mōrena Benjamin, thanks for passing this on to us! We'll have a read through and see whether this fits for our next issue, as I can see it closes next Wednesday. Do you have a submission template you would like to share?

Thanks so much Dhanya. I'm just a bit player in the nationwide organisation of this event, and have the highest respect for the kids doing the bulk of the work :-)
