Generation Zero will continue to speak out against the anti-Te-Tiriti, environmentally-destructive, and inequality-exacerbating direction that this government has taken over the past 9 months.
Along with over 150 other organizations in Aotearoa, we signed an open letter calling on PM Luxon to stop any further work on the Treaty Principles Bill. We urge you to use your voice to do the same.
Slide 1: Dark grey text reads “Generation Zero strongly condemns the recent attacks by the coalition government Te Tiriti o Waitangi.” on a photo background of a protest in front of parliament in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. The photo shows the beehive and surrounding buildings against a blue sky, the heads of dozens of protesters, and several flags and posters. In the foreground, there are two large flags (Tino Rangatiratanga and United Tribes of New Zealand) flowing in the wind. The Generation Zero logo is in black in the bottom right corner.
Slide 2: dark grey text reads: “The democratic foundation of Aotearoa is being threatened [in bold] by a government that prioritizes wealth for few, continued excessive extractivism, and anti-Māori laws”. “As an organization that strives for climate justice, we will continue to stand up against such destructive and divisive political action.” “Upholding Te Tiriti justice is essential in achieving a climate-just world [in bold]”. The background is light blue.
Slide 3: Dark grey text reads: “We, along with 150 other community organizations from across the motu, have signed an open letter calling on PM Christopher Luxon to ‘STOP the Treaty Principles Bill [in bold]’ before it goes to the select committee.
There is power in our collective voices, we want to use ours to send a clear message to the public and the government: We will continue to stand up for Te Tiriti and say that this bill needs to be stopped.
We encourage you to donate the same [in bold].” The background is light blue. Dark grey text reads “Read the open letter (link in bio).” at the bottom of the slide.
Slide 4: Dark grey text reads “Toitū Te Tiriti.” on a photo background of a protest in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. The photo shows the beehive and surrounding buildings against a blue sky, the heads of dozens of protesters, and several flags and posters. In the foreground, there are two large flags (Tino Rangatiratanga and United Tribes of New Zealand) flowing in the wind. The Generation Zero logo in black is in the bottom right corner.
