Hangin out for our end of year function, with our Co-Directors kicking it off with a few words.

Survivors and relatives of victims of the Christchurch mosque shooting in New Zealand addressed the shooter directly during his sentencing hearing. "Your actions have failed to spread hatred or create division within society."

Sending alofa to our beautiful Pacific peoples, communities, churches, social services, youth, children, families, workers, leaders banding together to support each other and our country at this time.❤️

As NZ enters lockdown tonight EJP would just like to say stay safe, look out for each other, self isolate to save lives; it’s essential. And lastly, self isolation is not the same as social isolation - stay connected. #StopTheSpread #COVID19nz #nzlockdown

EJP's Communications team submitted on this Bill, which has now been passed and marks an important development in New Zealand law.

"Racism is tiring and dehumanising, both for the racist and the target of their hatred. It robs a person of humanity, piece-by-piece -- all it takes is a willingness to turn a blind eye to anything that doesn’t fit the narrative in your head." -- Leizi Lee thespinoff.co.nz/society/02-03-…

Our Co-directors had the privelage to meet with Chief Justice Helen Winklemen, and other legal academics & professionals in Wellington today to discuss how the justice system could be made more easily & fairly accessible in and outside the judicial system #justice #socialjustice
