We are calling for a Twitter storm to NZ Prime Minister John Key to coincide with his meeting with US President Barack Obama on 20 June 2014. This will take place this Friday between 4pm and 5pm.
We want as many people as possible to tweet their message to the Prime Minister John Key (@johnkeypm) and remind him that the voices of NZers need to be heard.
Include the hashtag #TPPANoWay and the @ItsOurFutureNZ account will retweet!
Below are some sample tweets you might like to use. We do urge you to be respectful in your comments, no personal abuse etc. The issues alone are controversial enough, stick to them.
