because as a community we have come together to build the sort of society that is organized in order to truly love, manaaki and care for all our people. Ending homelessness is totally possible in Aotearoa, we can do it, and together, we will. #LoveIsTheWay #EndYouthHomelessness

Awesome hui with this crew - @_AAAP_ @_kick_back @actionstation - dreaming of an Aotearoa New Zealand free of homelessness, where all our people have access to their basic human needs, where none of our kids suffer the indignity of homelessness,

Energy data released last night by the Electricity Authority shows that big generators made big margins in their generation activities - $119m in one week alone. $512m over six weeks - equivalent to $4.4bn annually. That profit comes at a cost. A 🧵 public.tableau.com/app/profi…

The room has earmuffs on. A sign of privilege.

Again for everyone at the back - it’s not a human right if we have to pay for it. If we’re paying for our basic rights to life they’re not rights anymore, they’re a privilege.

Don’t forget from May 1st the govt will cut free public transport for kids & the half price for under 25’s, as part of wide ranging cuts to services to pay for tax cuts. For thousands of Auckland families & thousands of young people the added cost to pay for public transport..🧵

Hi everyone, what do you think is happening here? This government is preparing the public service for a level of cost-cutting and privatisation that we haven't seen since the 80s. There is almost no other conclusion to reach at this point. People need to start getting serious.

This is all we needed to know. Add these children to the ones that will lose their emergency housing and the picture is very bleak. Same with beneficiaries, the children are being punished.

This govt is doing the most to pull our communities apart so they can over-police (some already are) them. We have to do the most to ensure we remain in solidarity with each other so they don’t ride in on a 2nd term under the guise of ‘keeping our communities safe’ zzz
