ACTivate - Together, We're On A Roll - Rangitahi Campaign Aims for Biggest Youth Voter Turnout in History for General Election
Listen to Catherine speak with Sanat Singh from, "On a Roll", a non partisan rangitahi-led campaign urging young people to get on the roll before the 25 October deadline. Sanat explains that it's a myth that young people are apathetic; Instead he suggests older people and politicians should, "get curious about what they care about" and "talk with" instead of "talking about" young people. Hear Sanat speak about strengthening and honouring the fundamental right to vote so that it becomes a part of our cultural identity. If you want to help the movement go to: https://onaroll.nz, volunteer, go to an event, and check in with the young people in your life and ask them if they are enrolled. What if we all showed up? And, keep showing up for the people of Sudan. Go to https://amnesty.org.nz/humanitarian-catastrophe-in-sudan/ and demand that the NZ government do more. Now.

ACTivate - NZ Government: Do More For Sudan. Stand with Sudan and Help Stop the Violence Against Civilians. Now.
This month, listen to Catherine explain what is happening in Sudan and how you can stand with the people. This is NOT a civil war but a brutal war against civilians sustained via a lucrative war economy driven by gold and vital commodities like gum arabic. The chance to move towards democracy post the non-violent revolution of 2018/2019 was stolen from the people by the brutal power struggle between the leaders of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF). UAE's support of the RSF is prolonging the violence against civilians. The RSF is currently encircling the strategic city of El Obeid. Fears rise of another looming massacre like El Fasher where atrocities committed last October and November amount to genocide. The NZ Government needs to do more! Stay tuned for a link to a webinar with Sudan Advocacy Network Aotearoa's chairperson, Fatima Sanussi in conversation with David Vega, Amnesty International Campaigns Manager.
