As such, every few months we invite involved volunteers, new staff, and other key coalition members to participate in our Basic Actions Training at our warehouse in Auckland.<\/p>\n\n<p>The training covers introduction to direct actions and how Greenpeace uses this tactic in our campaigning. This past Labour Day weekend 20 people from all around Aotearoa joined us for a great time together learning.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volunteer Spotlight<\/h3>\n\n<p>Hello, my name is Justin Marler.<\/p>\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been a Greenpeace supporter for many years through donations and always thought I could do more; could\u2019ve, would\u2019ve, should\u2019ve, didn\u2019t\u2026 The government\u2019s announcement of its proposed Fast-track Approvals Bill provided the impetus for action, and when Greenpeace called for volunteers to support the March for Nature, I signed up. It was exhilarating to be amongst the huge crowd standing up against the ransacking of the legislation protecting our natural environment by a small bunch of cynical politicians.<\/p>\n\n<p>Since the March, I have got more involved in volunteer activities, attending regular meetings, banner painting and supporting protest actions. Last month I was lucky enough to attend a three-day Basic Action Training workshop at Greenpeace, where I had a lot of fun, learned many valuable hands-on skills and gained a deeper appreciation for the organisation, and the diversity, energy, and passion of its people.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Fast-Track to hell is paved with good intentions. Resist the coalition\u2019s corrupt, anti-democratic, attempt to conscript the people of Aotearoa into their war on nature.<\/p>\n\n<p>Get involved!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium  caption-alignment-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"458\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/07c676b8-basic-action-training-andi-458x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/07c676b8-basic-action-training-andi-458x600.jpg 458w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/07c676b8-basic-action-training-andi-781x1024.jpg 781w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/07c676b8-basic-action-training-andi-768x1007.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/07c676b8-basic-action-training-andi-259x340.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/07c676b8-basic-action-training-andi.jpg 824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Participant Andi during a intro to ropes course during Basic Actions Training<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boats on the water<\/h2>\n\n<p>Over the last six months, we have been working behind the scenes to get our Greenpeace Aotearoa boats seaworthy.<\/p>\n\n<p>So we were thrilled to be able to get out on the water to support the h\u012bkoi in Auckland and in Wellington.<\/p>\n\n<p>Next year we plan to do more exciting things, so stay tuned and definitely reach out if you&#8217;d like to get more involved.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/363c4864-boats-on-water-hikoi-1024x710.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/363c4864-boats-on-water-hikoi-1024x710.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/363c4864-boats-on-water-hikoi-600x416.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/363c4864-boats-on-water-hikoi-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/363c4864-boats-on-water-hikoi-490x340.jpg 490w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/12\/363c4864-boats-on-water-hikoi.jpg 1445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The H\u012bkoi m\u014d Te Tiriti crosses the Auckland Harbour Bridge on day three of the h\u012bkoi \u00a9 \u00a0Echo Valley \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Campaigns in action<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deep sea mining<\/h3>\n\n<p>The last few months have been busy for the team, especially to do with stopping seabed mining.<\/p>\n\n<p>Firstly, a group of volunteer activists locked down the office of Straterra.
