JustSpeak webinar - Decolonise the Justice System
Monday 05/10/2020
When a justice system reflects the values of the people it serves, it helps to support resilient communities that are well resourced and able to flourish. But with systemic racism threaded through every aspect of our current justice agencies - from care and protection, policing, courts and prisons - meaningful change means going beyond reform.
A truly equitable justice system requires that our government honours Te Tiriti o Waitangi, shares power and elevates Māori leadership on justice transformation. So how do we get there?

JustSpeak webinar - Resource Communities to Flourish
Monday 12/10/2020
By 2040 we want to live in a society where everyone has what they need, where both people and planet are cared for, and where we put collective wellbeing at the heart of decision-making.
To reach this goal we need our government to abandon failed models that push people further into crisis, and instead properly resource all communities to flourish. This is the future we all deserve.
Monday 12 October | 7.30pm
