Who we are
Global Peace and Justice Aotearoa are a group of dedicated writers, activists, unionists and academics working towards peace in Aotearoa and overseas. We share events, articles and invite your participation. While many people share their work here it is Mike Treen who drives the project.
Background
Global Peace and Justice Aotearoa was formed in response to the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan post 9-11.
Our goal was to bring together all peace and justice groups where we share common objectives. We are concerned about issues in Aotearoa as well as internationally.
Our regular activities include a monthly forum (on the first Monday of each month at the Trades Hall, 147, Great North Rd, Grey Lynn) covering a wide range of issues usually with guest speakers or film/video.
We also produce the e-newsletter to inform people about activities in Auckland and provide the most important messages from other groups in the broader peace and justice movement. We also select and link to articles that we hope are useful for keeping up with the news from the world’s media as well as statements from groups in NZ that maybe don’t make the mainstream press.
Please subscribe to the newsletter using the form in the right hand column and encourage others to do so.
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.”
— Working for peace one action at a time
What will it take
We can all play a part in bringing peace and justice to our world. there are small and large things we can all do.
