Summary

The march began on Cuba Street and terminated at the Rabin Memorial near the Wellington City Library. The streets involved in the march were temporarily closed by police during the march. Speeches were made by a wide variety of people at both the origin and terminus of the march. At the terminus of the march, stones with the names of people killed in Gaza during the 2014 conflict were laid next to the Rabin Memorial.
