NZ Troops Out Now Community Dinner

NZ Troops Out Now Community Dinner

Saturday 12 May, 7pm start
St John's Hall (Willis Street)
$8 unwaged/$12 waged

Come along and learn more about Peace Action Wellington's NZ Troops Out Now Campaign and how you can get involved, while also enjoying a community dinner.

The New Zealand military is currently engaged in 18 different military missions around the world, including large deployments in Afghanistan, the Solomon Islands and Timor Leste. Peace Action Wellington demands the immediate withdrawal of all New Zealand troops and the cessation of training and all joint exercises with other armies. Despite the rhetoric from Defence Minister Phil Goff and the Government, the above deployments are not about peacekeeping. Lest we forget that the military and intervening states have, and will always, exist for the sole purpose of waging war and advancing their own economic power.

Organised by Peace Action Wellington
