The government is rushing bills through parliament so fast it’s hard to keep up, and the submission process can feel overwhelming. Deadlines for submissions on bills such as the Move-on Orders Bill (which criminalises homelessness) and the Definitions of Woman and Man Bill (which writes trans, intersex, takatāpui and non-binary New Zealanders out of the law) are less than a month away.
Let’s make submissions easier by doing it together. Bring your laptop to The Button Factory, grab a hot chocolate, find a seat on the couch, get cosy and get writing.
A submission can take 5 minutes or half an hour and you don’t have to be a writer, the important thing is to have your voice heard! This is not a workshop or educational event, but a space to come together, share templates and resources, and support each other to have our say.
Bring a laptop or phone and koha, all proceeds go towards keeping The Button Factory alive and thriving <3
