Slow March - Ōtepoti Dunedin

Come slow march with us! Meet at the Railway Station at 8am.

Ōtepoti supporters of Restore Passenger Rail will slowly walk from the Railway Station in support of their campaign’s demands that the government restores a nationwide passenger rail service and provides free urban public transport. These demands are just the start - low-hanging fruit for climate action to make a better future for all of us.

We’re calling all those who understand the importance of this moment in history to step up. Either we are actively in resistance, on the side of life, or we are complicit with a government that is aiding and abetting catastrophic climate breakdown. Young people have the most to lose, so call on all students, young people, and older people who wish to support them, to hit the streets!A slow march is different to a typical protest march. 

The slow occupation of public spaces may be experienced as provocative by some, but this means it is harder for our demands and climate breakdown to be ignored. Please come with an open mind and be prepared to try out a different sort of march than you may be used to. There will be various roles to suit everyone. Suitable for ages 16 years and over.

On Friday 1 December there will be a session of training, prep, and practice in nonviolence. Please make it if you can - More details coming soon.
