Progress Ihumātao - Action Planning For A Resolution

Kia ora tātou!!!

This is a tentative date and time for a kanohi ki te kanohi hui to plan for a final push of actions to ensure that a resolution is made for Ihumātao.

Please keep this date free and, pending our alert level situation, we will be able to meet, share ideas and share mauri, and push for the justice that has been so late coming.

Kai will be provided (with all appropriate safety precautions taken with preparations).

Pōneke Solidarity Alliance started organising together in January 2019 during Ōtaki Summer Camp, in response to Pania Newton’s call to protect Ihumātao. Supported by Peace Action Wellington in its early days, the group organised solidarity events for the Ihumātao campaign, including hosting SOUL and the whānau at a local marae, organising three demonstrations at Parliament, one teach-in at Fletchers, screen-printing and sending t-shirts and continuing local organising efforts to ensure that pressure remained on the government.

The Alliance continues to support Ihumātao, and have signaled a commitment to ongoing solidarity work with broader struggles affecting indigenous people.
