Aotearoa New Zealand has a proud history of civic-activism and campaigning. From being the first country where women won the right to vote, to the Springbok tour, citizens have taken a stand when they’ve seen injustice in our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re proud of that history, and of the people and organisations that have been involved throughout these fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Movement looks to take advantage of the power of online-organising, and the the ability to take huge action at super-fast speeds to supplement and amplify the campaigns of the amazing groups around Aotearoa who are already driving positive, progressive policy change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are a nimble, outcome driven group of passionate individuals who recognise opportunities to use our collective power – people-power – to jump on issues as decisions are being considered or made, to ‘tip’ them in a progressive direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That means there will often be no more than a matter of hours between an opportunity presenting itself, and our members jumping in and taking action: wehther that’s signing a petition in our thousands to deliver to the decision makers; crowdfunding to buy billboards in strategic locations; or writing individual letters to explain to decision makers why we hope they’ll make a decision in a certain direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re fast paced and impactful. We’re focused on results that make Aotearoa New Zealand a more progressive country, for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are not a single-issue campaigning organisation, policy experts, or the sole-cause of wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We aim to be movement-generous; to add value to campaigns which people and organisations may have spent years working on. We rely on the policy expertise of other organisations: we see our role as bringing the numbers to campaigns, to amplify and tip decisions in our favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we win campaigns, it will almost never be because of our work alone. In fact, we’re likely to have played a small role in any decision going our way. But that’s not to diminish our power: we believe that without the action of our members and the flexing of our collective people-powered muscles, many decisions which would otherwise have gone against us. By working together, we win more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
