reclaim the city...

the state wants to recreate a city in it’s own image.
their city: undemocratic. unsustainable. privatised and corporatised. founded on confiscation.

people’s city:
participatory democracy.
ecological sustainability.
strong public services.
mana motuhake.

ka whawhai tonu matou struggle for a people’s tamaki makaurau
As anarchists we oppose the state attempting to steal power from the people, to deny the mana whenua, to consolidate corporate control over our city. We fight for a people’s auckland reclaimed from the corporate interests. We are communities/workers/students/tangata whenua resisting motorways, confiscation, budget cuts, privatisation, pollution and state power.

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE OF TAMAKI MAKAURAU

Don't forget- They're in there for us - We're out here for them

Anarchists meet in Magma City

30 or so anarchists and fellow travellers attended the second Auckland Anarchist Assembly at the Trades Hall to hear presentations on organic gardening, October 15th Solidarity, the campaigns for ethical pension fund investment and against Kwila imports and on the Israeli anarchist movement. There was interesting questions posed on everything from the future of urban horticulture to the future of the Palestinian people. Was a great evening out for anarchists to get together and hear what each other was getting up to, so keep a look out for the next event coming soon to Magma City!
