Our voices belong in the future of this whenua.

Not just in performance spaces, galleries, and on stages, but in the decisions that shape our lives, our communities, and our rights.

2026 is an election year. We urge our whānau whānui to vote, in order to do so you need to be enrolled by midnight, Sunday 25 October 2026.

If you think you’re already enrolled but not too sure, go and make sure your details are up-to-date!

In the last election about 170,000 eligible Māori did not vote. It’s so important that Māori, Pasifika and underrepresented groups in Aotearoa have their say in who leads our country and what policies are important to them.

Now is also the time to speak up through public submissions:
- The Disability Support Services Bill by 12 June 2026
- The (Definitions of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill by 2 July 2026
- The Summary Offences (Move-on Orders) Amendment Bill by 3 September 2026

Submissions are one way we protect each other, advocate for equity, and uphold the mana of our communities.

Our stories matter. Our lived experience matters. Our voices matter.

Make sure you’re enrolled.
Make your submission.
Show up for each other.
