The perception that New Zealand has the least corruption, and the most transparency globally, no longer rings true to those people who are voicing their
\n concerns to government. Many issues are just not being addressed.<\/p>\n

We will connect Kiwis with the issues affecting the future of our communities, such as the corporate control of our global food system, which is not
\n in the interests of people or the environment.<\/p>\n

We stand for the basic principles of democracy, sustainability, social justice, and environmental integrity.<\/p>\n

Days of Action:
\n
Rallies nationwide on Sept 1st the first day of spring<\/p>\n

People march and rally under their own banner, whether it is, as an example, about mining, asset sales, charter schools, etc. and 10 days of activities
\n from Sept 2nd to 11th<\/p>\n

Opening the hearts and minds of Kiwis to the idea of freedom democracy and sovereignty, not influenced by corporate control and privatisation. Human
\n need not corporate greed!<\/p>\n

Mission:
\n
To unite diverse (New Zealand) groups to align their various energies to put human rights above corporate rights by alerting people of the urgent issues
\n that are undermining our freedom and sovereignty and the actions that we can take to address them. To connect and integrate communities to effect real
\n change empowering people to create the world they want.<\/p>\n

All the issues that concern us are integrated:<\/p>\n

We are challenging the status quo from the outside, and are up against a combination of the existing system and a whole host of full time professional
\n corporate and governmental insiders - who are hell bent on maintaining their power base and pay packets at whatever cost!<\/p>\n

We are inviting all special interest groups to come together and create a unified force for positive social change. We are all in this together!<\/p>\n

Unsafe food and water, unsustainable farming, destructive mining, corporate take-over of education and public services and the TPPA all have the common
\n theme of destroying our future.<\/p>\n

When it comes to Government, know how professional corporate lobbying denies us of our democratic voice
