Plan for ‘Tens of Thousands’ To March Across Auckland Harbour Bridge for Palestine and Climate

Protests demanding greater action on climate change and sanctions against Israel will combine in Auckland, New Zealand, on Sept. 13 in what organisers hope is an event that will attract “tens of thousands” of people to march across Auckland’s Harbour Bridge.

Last time a march travelled over the bridge—nine months ago during a protest against a controversial law that Parliament later dropped—which saw about 5,000 people walk across, there were significant traffic delays. But that was on a Wednesday morning.
