HIKOI FOR HOMES- Everyone deserves a home – update and can you help?
Auckland Action Against Poverty in conjunction with Child Poverty Action Group, FIRST Union and Unite Union will be holding a hikoi next month, Saturday 21 November.
Facebook info here.
OUR KAUPAPA: Housing is a basic human need and access to decent quality, affordable and safe housing should be seen a human right. This means that our society and more specifically the State has an obligation to ensure that everyone living in New Zealand always has access to adequate and secure housing. We believe that this obligation means that housing needs to be considered as more than a commodity whose allocation is decided entirely by markets and the profit motive.
Start location: Saturday 21 November – 12pm – Glen Innes Train Station (GI) and will end at Orakei Domain. Walk will take approx 3-4 hours.
***** there will be other start and pick up locations TBC along the hikoi route for those who can’t commit to the whole walk****
