We were very happy to be able to cover the Auckland Action Against Poverty Block Party in the centre of Auckland, New Zealand.
Occupy Auckland Media co-ordinator @Redstar309z was able to stream the beginning of the event and shortly after dusk we were able to get this fantastic exclusive interview with legendary New Zealand social justice & equality activist Sue Bradford.
The event inspired a walk around the city afterwards, where the truth of the conditions for homeless in Auckland was easily apparent, though so often ignored by the mainstream.
This is the side of my city that very few care to see. #AAAP pic.twitter.com/6o3CPgLS7q
