On Saturday 29 March 2014 thousands of New Zealanders from across the country marched to show their opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Well done New Zealand, we’re well on the way to making this an electoral issue.
We’re currently collating all the various photos, videos and stories we’ve been sent, but here is a short list of all the media we’ve come across:

Trade deal protest
Growing public concern about the affect the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement will have on local democracy and decision making has prompted Hamilton campaigners to organise an event today calling on the government to stop the secret negotiations. The event will be held in Garden Place, with live music and speakers, including community campaigners and members of Parliament, is part of a national day of action against the TPPA. It will kick off at 1pm.
