Local justice for global justice

Striving to fix local injustices will lead to addressing global injustices

1. A Snowball Effect in Civil Society

Once a month, a protest takes place across the country, where all communities highlight their grievences.

Each protest is theme-based and is led by a community most directly affected.

  • the disabled community,
  • parents and whānau whose children are currently in state care and are being mistreated,
  • survivors of abuse in state care,
  • seniors who built this country, and are now struggling to live, or are told to die,
  • New Zealanders living with painful and rare diseases who are denied access to funded medicines,
  • workers made redundant after mills shut down due to high energy costs,
  • teachers, nurses, doctors, and many others.

1.1. Simple message

A simple message to circulate among the protestors and the public:
The same system that has inflicted injustice to one group can do it again to anyone.
It is only a matter of time and circumstance.

1.2. Parallel Action

Alongside the regular protests, we maintain, individually or as one group

  • a list of grievances from different communities,
  • with a corresponding list of government inaction or inadequate responses.

1.3. Consequences

Several outcomes are likely:

  • stronger solidarity across communities,
  • more organizations joining protests to highlight their grievances,
  • greater involvement from researchers, professionals, and policy experts offering solutions,
  • social issues remaining at the forefront of public awareness,
  • a more informed population, aware of injustices both locally and internationally,
  • increasing pressure on individual ministers responsible for failing sectors,
  • the government as a whole is forced onto the defensive. Political priorities are questioned, including war-oriented spendings that are disconnected from the needs of ordinary people,
  • politicians, concerned about their credibility and careers, may begin to speak out,
  • divisions may emerge within parties and caucuses, as accountability becomes unavoidable.

2. The International Dimension

Similar efforts must emerge internationally, in Australia, the UK, Germany, the United States, and beyond.
Without parallel movements overseas, NZ challenging its government risks isolation or backlash from governments world-wide and their media worried about the spread of the movement to their soil.

Global Consequences

As civil societies mobilize across borders:

  • governments everywhere will face increased public scrutiny,
  • it will become harder to justify involvement in overseas projects while domestic crises remain unresolved,
  • it will become harder to justify involvement in wars,
  • the American public will compel its government to bring troops home, shut down US bases and close CIA and FBI offices around the world,
  • the application of international law and UN resolutions will be demanded more forcefully by the public world-wide,
  • authoritarian regimes will lose external political support,
  • new ideas will emerge about reforming global systems, including financial and banking structures.

3. Risks and Challenges

The more effective such a movement becomes, the more resistance it will face from powerful interests.
Governments, banks and global institutions under pressure may attempt to:

  • increase fear and division among the public,
  • restrict public gatherings under the guise of security, real or fictional
  • shift attention through external conflicts, manufactured health crises, financial crises, etc..
  • manufacture economic or logistical disruptions

Preparing From Day One

To counter these risks:

  • the public must be educated early about common tactics used to suppress civic movements,
  • global powers must be clearly told: we are paying attention,
  • actively seek and share knowledge about how international systems, alliances, and power dynamics function.

4. Conclusion

Fix local injustice will automatically bring justice world wide

The civil society can steer the political class

Summary A call to civil society to collaborate in order to steer the political class Summary: Career politicians and some state officials do everything they can to hold on to the benefits and opportunities that come with their best jobs. Civil Society (CS) can leverage this dynamic to get them to work for justice and the country. Without such effort, Career politicians will continue to view CS as fragmented and ineffective groupuscules, They will continue to deceive the public with empty campaign promises, allowing them to secure their positions and benefits for decades, and Oppression and chaos will persist, locally and globally. 1. The Current State of Affairs CS and the public have currently little to no control over the political class. Career politicians routinely ignore the public's demands, purs...
