Generation Zero stands in solidarity with members of the @nzteu striking in Waikato who have been suspended without pay. We stand in solidarity also with the ongoing negotiations in other university sites.

Our mahi wouldn't be possible without the intellectual contribution of academics and their teachings. Especially those who have given their time to speak at our events or mentor us through difficult issues. It's time to recognise that mahi fairly. It's time for a real pay rise!

That icon means the candidate is a renter. You can see what each icon means by long pressing it (on mobile) or hovering in (on desktop). We are currently trying to make it clearer.

Last year's @AklCouncil climate action progress report gave a clear message - 2030 is looming and we simply aren’t doing enough. It called for urgent and innovative change. The climate action targeted rate is one of many changes needed -we can’t fail at this very first hurdle 1/2

Have you seen this awesome mahi from ‘All Railways’?! Trains are crucial to climate change action. We should be adding more routes, not stopping same-day services like @kiwirail are planning. #saveourtrains . Sign the petition here: ow.ly/Cf3K50I5pQW

Frequency is a deal-breaker for transit systems, so it's good news that LR will come every 5 minutes.

GREAT NEWS!!! Auckland Council are acting on our climate emergency by proposing a Climate Action Targeted Rate. It’s an important first step for more ambitious action across Tāmaki Makaurau with a median-value home worth $1.18 million chipping in about $1.10 a week.

It would be used to build māra kai, add new frequent bus services in underserved areas, add more low-emissions buses, build walking and cycling facilities, plant native trees in areas most vulnerable to heat, and much more.
