School Strike for Climate – Repeal the Fast Track Approvals Bill
On April 11th, students from across the Wellington region joined by fellow climate activists and supporters will unite in a powerful demonstration as part of the School Strike for Climate movement. Demands include the repeal of a recently passed bill that will harm both the environment and communities, and the protection of Māori land from further exploitation and destruction. With the slogan “Don’t Fast Track Our Future”, the striking students are calling on the government to halt policies that prioritize short-term economic interests over long-term environmental sustainability, climate justice, and indigenous rights.

12pm, Frank Kitts Park to Parliament Ground
Randall Cottage Trust Boosted campaign
The Randall Cottage Trust is urgently seeking crowdfunding to continue its sought-after writers residency, now it its 24th year, through a Boosted campaign.
Since 2001, the Randell Cottage Writers Fellowship has offered six months of rent-free accommodation each year to mid-career New Zealand writers. They stay in a restored heritage cottage in Thorndon, Wellington, with a stipend to cover their living costs.
Citing limited funding availability, Creative New Zealand has pulled its grant for the fellowship stipend as of 2025. This decision applies for the next three-year funding cycle.

Urbanerds Monthly Get Together
Urbanerds is a community of people who build epic cities.
What started as a regular drinks catchup with like-minded nerdy friends has become a movement for growing epic towns and cities, from the citizens up.
We have chapters around New Zealand (and soon the world!) that meet regularly to jam, discuss, envision, feel into and nerd out what better urban living could look like.
We’re into: Kids on bikes, street parties, affordable homes, belonging, universal accessibility, knowing your neighbour, indigenous urbanism, green infrastructure, effortless public transport, beautiful buildings, thriving streets, urban civics, spaces that kids find exciting!
Next session – Tuesday 8 April, 5pm-9pm
