radicalism
happens because poverty
fires up the hatred
that the rich push onto us
to hide their own wickedness

“Not clear exactly’ where evicted Kāinga Ora tenants will go.”

They’re not lost luggage. They’re people. Whānau. Kids. Mums, Dads, Kaumātua, people being left behind. Kicked out with nowhere to go because this government would rather punish poverty than fix it.

100%. That’s what public investment should look like- serving the collective good, not just individual or corporate interests. We need to shift to an Aotearoa and Te Tiriti-centric approach to nation-building. The real question is: why isn’t that the priority? #NZPol #PovertyIsPolitical #WealthTax

I’ve worked 3 jobs, skipped meals, and still been told I “just need to budget better.” What people call a “safety net” is more like a tightrope. We need policies written by the people who’ve actually stood in line at the DHS office.

Pope Francis has long challenged the injustices of poverty and class inequality.

He reminded the world: “An economy that excludes is an economy that kills.” His words called us to centre human dignity over profit.
