“Despite producing enough food to feed 40 million people annually, Aotearoa allows its most vulnerable tamariki to go hungry. Food insecurity here is one of the worst in the OECD, and disproportionately affects Māori and Pasifika children.” — Dr Madeline Shelling.

Some good news with your coffee this morning folks? 🙌
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2y ago1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

New Zealand Tour Dates - the full list! I’ve been invited on a tour of Aotearoa NZ by ANZSPM and Hospice NZ. I’m grateful for their hard work in arranging this trip. Here’s where I’m going, a list of professional and public events, and ticket links for individual events. Tell your Kiwi pals.
In 2018, 20% of trans people in Aotearoa had avoided seeing a doctor because of fear about how they'd be treated for their gender. In 2022, that had dropped to 11%! There's been so much work that has gone into this - and tho there are other barriers, I think this is a win we should celebrate
Good news everyone. Counting Ourselves 2022 has been released! Such an invaluable document. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

There's still time to submit. Even just a couple of sentences expressing your opposition to this heinous bill - it all adds up. Please.
#NZpol "Owning up to our troubled past requires guts and grit. No one ever said it would be easy. But it is an essential step in the process of maturing as a society." The TPB is part of a naked appeal by ACT to all who'd prefer we remain stunted in our national growth. Get a submission in TODAY!

This thread is so important. Just take 5 mins to write that you oppose X bill. If you need, cut and paste a few lines from someone else’s work. But KEY message- lots of really smart people will use their expertise to articulate complex things well, your job is to simply state your position.
Ross@rossthesedays.bsky.social · 2y agoAll the TPB and RSB submission guides are great (huge kudos to the authors), but if you're feeling overwhelmed by all the info out there then it's OK to write a few lines saying that you oppose them. A quick email in before the deadline is better than a detailed one that doesn't make it.
I've just published my own submission to Manatū Hauora's consultation on the right of transgender children in Aotearoa to access the healthcare they need - consultation they have opened on request from Minister Reti, with no good justification. It's long, but may be useful for your own submission.
Transgender children deserve access to healthcare
This is my submission to Manatū Hauora's consultation on the rights of transgender children in Aotearoa to access the healthcare they need.

Did my submissions...used some of the amazing tools others have developed to help (thank you)...they weren't lengthy, but they are done. Now need to do something calming as the need to do it makes me so angry.....

Reminder: Submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill close 7 January. Don Brash just emailed his followers saying they need to submit in support of the bill or Māori won't let them go to the beach anymore. Even if it's only a paragraph or two, it's important to get your opposition on the record.
