Join the Waitangi Day Solidarity Hikoi on 6 Feb

On Waitangi Day there will be no FFF protest at Parliament.
Instead, we will be joining the Waitangi Solidarity Hikoi.

This event is organised by the Pōneke Anti-Fascist Coalition. Tangata Tiriti are invited to stand in solidarity with Tangata Whenua and show that we will work to stop any rolling back of Māori rights and progress the Tangata Whenua.

Starts at Pukeahu National War Memorial at 10.30am, walking about 1.5 km.

Fridays for Future on Tuesdays

Now we have the most right-wing, climate-denialist government New Zealand has ever had. So we want to be sure they see our protests.

Because Parliament only sits on Tuesdays – Thursdays, from 9 January 2024 we will protest on Tuesdays (not Fridays) at Parliament.

On the last Friday of each month we will also protest against Fonterra at Midland Park.

The protest time remains unchanged at 12.30-1.30pm.

Check our updated protest schedule. 

Press Release – First day of new government 2023

Fridays for Future Te Upoko o te Ika Press Release

Local climate action group Fridays for Future held an extraordinary demonstration on Parliament grounds on Monday, 27 November.

The Wellington group marked the first day of the new government by holding signs and flags, and talking with the public. 

Group member Violet Chong said the demonstration was being held this Monday to mark the new government’s rollback on climate policy.

“Removing the ban on oil and gas exploration licences,the use of ETS money for tax cuts, no plans for emissions reductions from farming, and the removal of the clean car discount, these are a betrayal of younger generations and a dangerously misguided direction for any leadership that cares for children,” she said.

Violet was holding a sign reading “All I want for Christmas is a government that takes climate change seriously.”

The Wellington group usually meets on Friday lunchtimes. 

The international movement Fridays for Future grew out of widespread support for Greta Thunberg. 

Fridays for Future Te Upoko o te Ika meets on Parliament lawn and in Midland Park on Lambton Quay, on alternate weeks.

This week Fridays for Future will meet in Midland Park from 12:30 to 1:30pm. 

Midland Park is a regular venue for protest as it is in front of major polluter Fonterra’s Wellington office. 

Violet said all are welcome to join in the regular demonstration of support of climate action.
