Auckland Action Against Poverty is a direct action and education group mobilising against the neoliberal agenda on jobs, welfare and poverty
Auckland
Last year, Auckland Action Against Poverty advocated for more than 6,000 people across Auckland, helping them get their benefit entitlements at Work and Income. We are volunteer driven, and we train over 200 a year so they can advocate within their communities. We campaigned to end benefit sanctions, lift benefit levels, and managed to spark an inquiry into the Ministry of Social Developments investigative practices as well as lift the amount of compensation for people evicted due to bogus meth contamination testing.
We want to continue this important work in 2019, and we need your help! We rely on small and medium donations as we don't receive Government funding. With the Government's Welfare Expert Advisory Group and the upcoming 'wellbeing' budget, we need strong voices calling for a true transformation of our social support systems.
