On Thursday 16 March at 6pm-7pm at an online public meeting on a better budget for Auckland, we'll be hearing from Craig Renney (economist, Council of Trade Unions), Cissie Rock (facilitator and community development expert), and India Logan-Riley (climate justice campaigner) about the proposed Auckland Council budget.
