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. They will be speaking about an alternative budget, and will show that another budget - and another future for Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland - is possible. There will then be a chance for questions. Please register to attend here, and share this link with your friends and colleagues: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_G6v4AdffQJu2C3WzTS4N9A. After you register you will get information about how to join the webinar. ![]()
