Join us on the lawn of Parliament to send an undeniable message to incoming MPs: drop the $1B imported LNG terminal and invest in homegrown, cheap renewable energy for all!Why we are gathering right now? As preliminary election results stand, the National-led coalition holds a slim majority. While special votes could shift the balance of power before official results are declared on November 27, one thing is clear: this is the same government that pursued a $1 billion imported LNG terminal, and they are likely to pick it back up the moment they take office.
For many of us, the prospect of another term under this coalition is daunting. There will be many fights ahead to protect our climate, communities, and public services. But right now, amidst post-election uncertainty, we have a unique window of opportunity to strike and hold the line.
By gathering on Parliament Lawn while numbers are tight and negotiations are active, we make it impossible for any incoming government or coalition partner to ignore public opposition to this project. We hope you can join us!

Why this matters? Energy shouldn't be a political football while families across Aotearoa struggle with unaffordable power bills. We all want cheaper, reliable electricity so we can keep our homes warm and dry. Yet, instead of investing in clean energy, politicians risk locking us into paying for expensive, imported fossil fuels.
Recent polling shows that 75% of New Zealanders prefer spending $1 billion on clean energy, battery storage, and transition support, while only 12% support an imported LNG terminal.
No matter who forms the next government, politicians must listen to the public mandate:
Rule out the $1B imported LNG terminal and keep fossil fuels in the ground.
Reinvest $1 billion into homegrown renewables, community energy, and rooftop solar.
Establish a 30-year National Energy Strategy Taskforce combining iwi, unions, energy experts, consumer advocates, and community representatives to deliver clean, cheap energy for all.
Our Kaupapa: Principles of Nonviolence
350 Aotearoa is committed to nonviolence to ensure safety, respect, and effective social change. All participants are expected to adhere to our agreed action guidelines, treat everyone (including security, targets, and media) with respect, and follow the direction of our Action Coordinator.
RSVP today to show the incoming government that Aotearoa demands a clean, homegrown energy future!
