ActionStation is here to enable the large community of Kiwis with shared progressive values to take powerful, coordinated action on urgent issues we care about. We over 70,000 Kiwis holding power to account, standing for a fair society, healthy environment & economic fairness through online issues-based campaigns. Since the birth of democracy, citizens have acted collectively to hold powerful political & corporate decision-makers to account. The world is changing, the way citizens engage with politics is changing and democracy needs to change with it. There is a growing appetite for mechanisms that enable citizens' voices to be heard between elections in a range of ways. ActionStation is a vital piece of democratic infrastructure for Aotearoa in the 21st century, here to reinvigorate the our proud tradition of participatory democracy and people power, using the potential of new technology.

Our moemoeã is Oranga Whenua, Oranga Wai, Oranga Whānau. It reflects the aspirations of our people for intergenerational wellbeing, for a health system that truly serves whānau Māori, where our mokopuna thrive, and our people live well, with dignity and mana. We are 1 of 17 Iwi Māori Partnership Boards established under the Pae Ora Act 2022 to represent local Māori perspectives in improving hauora outcomes. We aim to move away from siloed health systems, amplify whānau voices, address the broader determinants that impact the health of our community and support intergenerational wellbeing. While our focus is on oranga Māori, as mana whenua we are committed to the wellbeing of everyone who calls our rohe home. In this unpredictable geo-political climate, we press ahead. Our destination remains unchanged: A system that truly serves whānau Mãori. This is Tino Rangatiratanga. And so, with our mokopuna on our minds and our tipuna in our hearts, we move forward together. Ki te hoe!

Language and culture are inextricably connected, with culture being deeply understood within the language it embodies. That’s why it’s so important to revitalise Pacific languages – so we can protect and sustain our cultures.
