Rally Saturday 8 June – Wellington Te Whanganui-a-Tara

Thou­sands of job loss­es. Rolling attacks on Te Tir­i­ti o Wai­t­an­gi. No-cause evic­tions and sell­ing off pub­lic hous­ing. Cuts to our pub­lic trans­port, health and edu­ca­tion. It is clear — this gov­ern­ment has waged eco­nom­ic war on every­day peo­ple in Aotearoa.

Christopher Luxon. #OUTOFTOUCH #TOOMUCHRISK

He doesn’t under­stand life for every­day kiwis.

Fair Pay Agreements – an important message

If Nation­al and ACT are elect­ed Fair Pay Agree­ments will be gone by lunchtime. And yet Labour’s Fair Pay Agree­ments are improv­ing the pay and con­di­tions of some of our hard­est work­ing Kiwis: secu­ri­ty guards, hospo work­ers, port work­ers, ear­ly child­hood teach­ers, clean­ers, super­mar­ket work­ers. Vote for the re-elec­tion of a Labour-led gov­ern­ment, and join our cam­paign to save Fair Pay Agree­ments!

Te Ohu Tamaki Community Alliance Launch

Te Ohu Whakawhanaun­ga Tama­ki Makau­rau is a broad-based organ­i­sa­tion of over 40 faith, union, and com­mu­ni­ty organ­i­sa­tions, build­ing rela­tion­ships and work­ing togeth­er across reli­gious, polit­i­cal, cul­tur­al lines to have a seat at the deci­sion-mak­ing table on the issues that mat­ter to us.

One of the major chal­lenges fac­ing our com­mu­ni­ties is Hous­ing. Every­where we go, the hous­ing cri­sis is hav­ing an impact. Because of this, Hous­ing has become a core work­stream of our com­mu­ni­ty alliance, and we have agreed to launch our alliance with a focus on the Right to a Decent Home.
