As we gear up for the local body elections, we need your help to reach out to wellingtonians and see what matters to them. We'll be making calls to potential supporters, talking to them about their values and stances.

Using CallHub, it is much simpler than any calling you may have done in the past, with everything automated and easy to follow. Even if you haven't called before, and are perhaps feeling apprehensive, we still welcome you to join the day, listen to others, meet the team, and get in on the action. 

Full training will be provided and you will have support every step of the way. If you can, please bring a laptop or personal device with you (for those who can't we have a limited number laptops and available)

There will be food, you will make friends and it will be fun!

If you can't make it for the whole day, that's fine, just stay as long as you can.

Calling is going to be hosted at the party office at level 1, 17 Garrett St, Wellington.

I hope to see you there!

The actions this government has taken are because the Greens have pushed - and pushed as hard as we can. The ERP, New Zealand's first Emissions Reduction Plan, is the government's first big commitment to reach our climate reduction budgets and reach net zero by 2050. Finally, we have a commitment and a plan to act on climate, all...

This Budget is full of Green wins. The most obvious is the $2.9 Billion investment to implement the many initiatives in the Emissions Reduction Plan, but it doesn't stop there. With our Cooperation Agreement, we've also secured important work programmes to continue looking after our environment and our communities. Take a look at our Green budget wins below.

TAKE THE QUIZ How we're tackling the climate crisis Over the last four years, the Greens in Government have laid the foundations for climate action in every part of Aotearoa. The Emissions Reduction Plan(ERP) is a landmark all-of-Government plan to cut climate pollution in a way that makes life better for everyone, protects nature, and improves our communities.The Emissions Reduction Plans comes following decades of calling for climate action and years of negotiations led by Green Party Co-leader and Climate...

Aotearoa can be a place where Te Tiriti o Waitangi is honoured in full, the injustices caused by colonisation can be redressed, and our people and taiao can be healed as we head into the future. But colonisation – including governmental policies of land dispossession – has resulted in most land in Aotearoa being alienated from tangata whenua. This legacy along with continued detachment from whenua constitute the most significant factors in why Māori experience so many disproportionately negative outcomes...

We have a real chance to build resilient, more vibrant communities.   Right now there are pivotal decisions being made about the future of Wellington. By ensuring smart decisions are made now, we can deliver fast, clean transport that puts Wellington on track to a climate-friendly future. We can make getting around by bike and public transport fast and easy. And we can build affordable, green homes, close to jobs, schools, shops and parks. 

We're thinking ahead to truly tackle the challenges we face as a community.
