If you're in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, and are keen to make some noise about the climate crisis on Friday, note that the young team of #SchoolStrikeforClimate have a protest march planned. They're starting at the Bridge of Remembrance at 1 PM.

My daughter is one of the organisers and she's worried that the turnout will be low this year as recently Meta locked them out of their Instagram account (they don't know why but expect it's because they expressed support for Palestinians). They started another Instagram account but don't have many followers.

(I've tried to convince them of the general excellence of Mastodon, but without any success, so far.)

Anyway, if you're a local, a boost would be appreciated, as would support from all ages on Friday. Thanks!

Meta has once again censored activists, this time School Strike For Climate. Their Instagaram account was shut down after advertising a school strike action in solidarity with West Papua which is under Indonesian occupation.
The action is planned for 13:00 - 15:00 Friday 30 Aug at Queens Gardens in Brisbane City Queensland

Today in Aotearoa New Zealand it's Friday 5 April. The day is International Day of Conscience. A reminder to be true to your beliefs, to listen and to speak up. ❤️ 📢

Some people used their voices today with #SS4C
#SchoolStrikeForClimate

Some of us will share music, usually after 5pm for #JukeboxFridayNight 🎵 🎧

Theme? I'll suggest # BetterWorld. Other suggestions welcomed. NZers usually get 1st say cos we see the sun first. 🌅 🌏

The sun is shining and around Aotearoa some people are heading to #SS4C #SchoolStrikeForClimate rallies. Thank you.

I'm watching the live stream of the Memorial Service for #RodOram. Many at the service will join the SS4C march in Auckland after 3pm.

Sadly I feel that even if everyone I know adds their voices to those crying out that this government will still ignore us. 😢

Hope I'm wrong.

@Sustainable2050 @gretathunberg You've done your bit pretty effectively too, @Sustainable2050. We'd better all keep at it, for Greta and her generation's sake. #GretaThunberg #DavidAttenborough #Climate #SchoolStrikeForClimate

I’m very sorry not to be attending the climate march today (a serious health issue mean I need to avoid crowds just now). Solidarity with all those marching, and others like me who can’t march but are behind this kaupapa 💪🏼 #ClimateMarch #SchoolStrikeForClimate
