Welcome to Dissenting Histories, a development site for a community interested in radical histories of dissent in New Zealand.
This wiki is currently intended to help us share knowledge and ideas about the hidden, forgotten, erased or not yet recorded history of action in New Zealand towards equality etc (please help write this.)
We first met on Thursday 21 February to establish the community

Next Meeting:
Thursday 25 April, 6 pm
Old Folks Ass. Gundry St, Auckland CBD
Please bring some food so that we can have a shared meal, something to drink and a small koha to help out with the room rental.
The meeting will address the proposal for a pivot point or armature to hang the project off, one that is open enough so that it can integrate the diversity of our interests but specific enough to give us point of connection.
We’d like to propose to you all that we focus on the ways in which people have protested in New Zealand and how the forms of protest, occupation, march, poster, letter, flotilla, strike, picket, statue decapitation etc. have repeated and changed and how their reception has (or hasn’t) shifted.
We think this is timely in regards to both the 2012 Auckland district court ruling that protest can not be of indefinite duration, and the proposed annadarko amendment curtailing the right of protest at sea.
We can discuss this proposal there and throw others into the mix.
Melissa & Chris
