With our protest march, we aim to amplify migrant voices and to highlight issues endured by migrants due to the broken immigration system in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our requests:
(1) It has been over a year and migrants are still stranded offshore – Bring them back.
(2) The ever-moving goal post of getting residence – Give residence now to those already here.
(3) Migrant worker exploitation is never ending – Detach visas from employers
Visa processing delays cause havoc for migrant lives – allocate more resources at INZ.
(4) Unite separated families – Reset immigration policy and overhaul INZ.

We aim to make this a calm protest, focussed on our goals. We are here to support and empower each other. This is a peaceful event protected by a legal right to Freedom of Assembly and Freedom of Protest.
