SATURDAY FEBRUARY 18
The day starts at WESLEY CENTRE, 3 HENRY STREET, central BLENHEIM
10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
THE CHANGING FACE OF SPYING
This will be a participatory discussion (as opposed to simply listening to experts), with resource people (Green MP Teanau Tuiono, Rocket Lab Monitor's Sonya Smith, Waihopai Domebuster Adi Leason and Anti-Bases Campaign's Warren Thomson).
A simple lunch will be provided. If you're coming to the meeting, please RSVP to abc@chch.planet.org.nz by Wednesday February 15 for catering purposes. There will be a koha collection for lunch & costs in general.
After that finishes, we will go out to the spy base, Waihopai Valley Road, for a protest at 4 p.m.
They were officially deemed obsolete.
But although the domes have gone, Waihopai is still a spy base, albeit a less conspicuous one, and the spying by the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) goes on
Our campaign has always been to call for the closure of the base.
We started the campaign in 1988, when Waihopai was an empty paddock yet to be built on.
The spying goes on, so ABC's campaign goes on.
Join us at Waihopai/Blenheim on Saturday February 18.
This event is organized by Anti-Bases Campaign.
