- **Event Name**: Picnic for Peace: Anzac day 2025
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 25 Apr, 2025 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Auckland Peace Action invites you to join us for our fourth annual Picnic for Peace, an alternative ANZAC Day commemoration that opposes the glorification of war and calls for a just and lasting peace based on demilitarisation, decolonisation and justice. 

We will be meeting at 12pm, 25th April by the Band Rotunda in Pukekawa / the Auckland Domain for music by local musicians Loveray and Heart Strings, and hear speeches, including from our inspiring elder Laurie Ross pf New Zealand Nuclear-Free Peacemakers. 

This is a family friendly community picnic - Bring a picnic mat and kai. We will have a craft area to make white poppies for peace, and contemplative paper crane making led by Make Art Not War.

On ANZAC Day we take the time to remember that hundreds of thousands of people are killed in wars, not only soldiers. The mass murder of civilians - people of all genders, men, women, and children, who are killed in warfare by state governments with paid military Offence/Defence forces.

It is wrong and violates our higher values as Human Beings.

People are killed with billions of dollars worth of weaponry. 

It is wrong to invest and profit from war weaponry.

It is wrong to perpetuate a culture of violent warfare, especially in the 21st century with weapons to destroy Humanity and Life on Earth.

Thus, ANZAC Day is a time to renew our dedication to peace and Aotearoa New Zealand as a Nuclear Free Peacemaking country for Peace in the Pacific.

If you have banners with messages of peace and decolonisation, against war and oppression, you're welcome to bring them to help decorate the Band Rotunda.

Please message us if you would like an opportunity to speak, pray, or recite poetry.
