[Imc-alternatives] apologies for check-ins and Aotearoa update

[Danyl Strype]

Kia ora koutou

My apologies for not being able to make the last couple of check-ins.  
I've been in Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland), finance capital of Aotearoa,  
where we've spent today protesting a meeting of the NZ/ US Partnership  
Forum- a free trade negotiation. Hopefully this will also be featured  
on indymedia.org:
Check out coverage on: http://aotearoa.indymedia.org/

I have also attended the Anarchism as Organising conference hosted by  
A Space Inside social centre. There was a lot of enthusiasm for the  
idea of building alternatives as a form of constructive resistence. I  
think the time has really come for our project to contribute to  
building the next phase of the global justice movement.

Look forward to the next irc chat where I'd like to put  
conent-gathering on the agenda.
