S92A - Public demonstration at MIDDAY parliament grounds
[Forwarded, very last minute, sorry for the late warning] Hi folks, So today there is a public demonstration at MIDDAY on Parliament grounds in support of MPs speaking against Section 92A. Details are here: http://creativefreedom.org.nz/story.html?id=127 "In Wellington on the steps of Parliament on Thursday 19th at MIDDAY with a petition handover at 12:30pm. This is a postive event where we will hand out hundreds of CDs and thank the politicans that support us - so please keep it friendly and polite. While we appreciate people arranging their own demonstrations it might be best if we don't dilute our numbers with multiple events. We want everyone reading this to email everyone they know in Wellington about this. We can't let this be another internet protest that results in few people turning up. This is important so we need to prove it in numbers. NOTE: Please don't wear all black as that has negative associations with other demonstrations but instead come along with bright clothes and BLACK PLACARDS!" As an example of how to be awesome do this: http://coffee.geek.nz/public-demonstration.html Now here's the sobering bit... We need everyone you can get to be there. This is a lot about establishing the credibility of the anti-S92A voice in numbers. If you can bring your friends and co-workers that's the kind of thing that will make this work. We need all of your support -- don't think that other will do it -- we need you to be there MIDDAY. Thanks, Matthew Holloway Creative Freedom -- Andrew Ruthven, Wellington, New Zealand At home: andrew(a)etc.gen.nz | linux.conf.au 2010 | Follow the signs.
