This is what a peoples movement should look like and no better place to get one started than at Parihaka, a Maori settlement with an incredible history of resistance to colonialism stretching back to 1840.

We spoke of colonisation, industrial dairy farming, collective denial, wetland destruction for coal mining, emissions trading scams, patriarchy, anthropocentrism, overconsumption fuelled by overproduction, and a myriad of false solutions that are getting in the way of collective confrontation of the root causes of Climate Change. We also spoke of community resiliance, movements from below, indigenous resistance, building bridges between movements, direct democracy, direct action and how the time is right for people to stop looking up to their glorious leaders for answers and start to look across to one another instead. Local groups have been set up all over the country to build the first ‘Camp for Climate Action Aotearoa’ – target, location and dates TBC.

We have a long way to go on our path to Climate Justice but with a start like this anything is possible!
