The failed youth bootcamps not only violate the human rights of rangatahi who are forced into them, they are also such horrific workplaces that they result in psychologists working their resigning. It's time for these bootcamps to be closed once and for all. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Come along and write a card to our whānau in prison, alongside others in your community. Kai and refreshments provided. Just drop in anytime for as long as you like. All are welcome.

Tāmaki Makaurau whānau, come along to our Matariki Holiday Card Drive on Sunday 21st June from 12PM at the Ellen Melville Centre with Sunday Blessings. We are inviting people to come together and share some new year hope with those behind bars this Matariki. www.facebook.com/events/35043...

We're proud to endorse @greenpeacenz.bsky.social and Anti-War Aotearoa's March For Peace on Saturday 20th June from 12PM at Aotea Square that's calling on the Government to delink from American capitalist imperialism and adopt a Te-Tiriti grounded independent foreign policy. marchforpeace.nz

The Legislation (Definition of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill is currently before Parliament. If passed, it would allow the law to define who counts as a woman and who counts as a man based solely on biology.

Anti-Children Minister Karen Chhour's refusal to divulge how many rangatahi are still in the bootcamps is the latest effort by the Government to cover up how these bootcamps have been a total and utter failure like every previous attempt has been. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The Government's failed tough on crime bill to increase punishments for theft will result in a massive increase in the women's prison population. This sexist outcome will only be avoided if this bill is scrapped and decarceration measures are implemented. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

Thank you to all the lovely Pōneke people who came to our Matariki card drive - it was a lovely day of kai, connection and of course, writing cards to people in prison. Ngā mihi for showing up and showing support. We’re sorting the cards and sending them off this week!

The Government's failed tough on crime policies will lead to the prison population ballooning, which will tear whānau apart. This can only be stopped by repealing all tough on crime policies and implementing decarceration policies. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

Come along, write some cards, share some kai (and coffee) and have some chats. We hope you see you here.

We are located in the community room (mezzanine) which is up the red stairs to the right as you enter the main entrance and the friendly library staff should be able to point you in the right direction.

In order for the Government to ban prolonged solitary confinement, prisoners must receive a minimum 2 hours of meaningful human contact per day, which shouldn't count phone calls. If this doesn't occur, then prolonged solitary confinement will continue. newsroom.co.nz/2026/06/06/g...

Please sign this petition by ActionStation calling on the Government to scrap its transphobic Definition of Woman & Man bill. None of us are free until all of us are free. our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/e-...

The Move-On Orders bill has passed its first reading and is now open for submissions until Thursday 2nd July at 11:59pm. You can make a submission against this carceral, anti-Māori, anti-LGBT+, ableist and anti-homeless bill here: www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

The Move-On Orders legislation must be scrapped, as the Government is trying to criminalise the homelessness that they created through implementing neoliberal austerity policies that restrict housing access. The homeless should receive help, not handcuffs. newsroom.co.nz/2026/05/25/m...

This scandal shows that prisons are a farce, as the Government criminalises actions like drug smuggling and imprisons people for engaging in them only for screws to then engage in these same actions. This farce will only end through prison abolition. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

Wāhine Māori Everlee Wihongi has been kidnapped and imprisoned by ICE. Free Everlee and abolish prisons everywhere. More info via this article by @davidfarrier.com www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

The Office of the Auditor-General's report demonstrates that providing housing to those leaving prison reduces homelessness and reoffending. Given this, state housing privatisation, emergency housing access restrictions and the move-on orders must end. newsroom.co.nz/2026/05/10/n...

The Policing Amendment Bill must be scrapped, because if it passes, then it will lead to clamp downs on protest in Aotearoa like what happened in New South Wales when equivalent legislation was passed. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

The seclusion of Jay for half of his life is an ableist form of incarceration that violates his human rights. The practice of seclusion must end, its authorising legislation must be repealed and those with disabilities must receive help, not handcuffs. www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/i...

The Government is quietly legalising the mass photographing of rangatahi Māori by police. Submissions on this Bill close at 2pm on Wednesday 22nd April. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

Please sign this petition by Harm Reduction Coalition Aotearoa calling for the repeal of the carceral Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 and replace it with legislation that legalises all drugs and has a human rights and public health approach to drug use. petitions.parliament.nz/0ab5ed2a-54c...

You have until Wednesday 22nd April to submit against the Government's bill that will allow Police to photograph you and your kids for any reason and erode our political and civil liberties. You can make a submission and find a guide to submit here: papa.org.nz/2026/04/12/p...

Content warning: suicide The Government has blood on their hands, as their failure to provide support to those released from prison led to them taking their lives. This will only end when the Government provides comprehensive reintegration support. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Te Kāhui must receive the funding they need to continue operating because their creative writing course has transformed the lives of the incarcerated people who have participated in it, as their recently released book Wāhine Inside demonstrates. thespinoff.co.nz/books/04-04-...

The Government is so hellbent on expanding the Police's surveillance powers while also eroding our civil liberties that it's willing to override a Supreme Court ruling limiting Police surveillance powers and ignore the Privacy Commissioner's warnings. lawnews.nz/administrati...
