RALLY FOR CHRISTCHURCH - let's get organised!

Date Sun 17th April 2011

Time 1:00pm

Location Christchurch: Linwood Park

On the 2nd April, Action for Christchurch East and Beyond Resistance helped facilitate the creation of new local groups and offered a free and democratic space where issues were discussed and concerns and problems raised. Following from this successful first meeting, the people of Christchurch have decided to build on the rapidly growing momentum and sense of urgency that is spreading across the city.

"6 months ago we were told that these issues were being dealt with and since February the powers that be have been working over-time to present the image of things getting better and everything being under control. The people can not be silenced forever." Said spokesperson Matt Jones.

This next gathering promises to offer further opportunities for community organising and will also be the platform to make decisions for the immediate future.

Winter is now making itself felt, homes are without heating, people are without shelter, raw sewerage spills on our streets whilst unemployment sores - Action for Christchurch East invites you to the second, much larger and louder event to have YOUR say and to put YOUR thoughts and ideas into action!
