- About Peace Movement Aotearoa
Peace Movement Aotearoa is the national networking peace organisation in Aotearoa New Zealand. As well as our core networking activities, we provide resources, news and views for people who are interested in peace, social justice and human rights.
We are committed to peaceful resolution of conflict and social change through non-violent means; we are working for a world with real security, lasting peace, and justice for all.
We work on a range of peace, disarmament and justice issues including: the production and sale of weapons, military spending, globalisation and militarisation, the Treaty of Waitangi and indigenous peoples' rights, and human rights more generally. We provide information about opposition to militarism, militarisation and war; peace initiatives and peaceful protest, alternative ways of thinking and peaceful resolution of conflict.
Our vital ongoing work includes: keeping people in touch through our networking and outreach services; educating and providing information on a wide range of topics; researching and publishing Action Alerts, Updates and Backgrounders; responding to requests for practical advice on organising protests and writing media releases; providing speakers for peace and social justice meetings; circulating regular national 'what's on where' listings; and sending updates out internationally so that overseas peace and social justice groups know about what is happening here. We coordinate Not in Our Name Aotearoa New Zealand, national anti-war and other petitions, and No WARP! (Network Opposed to Weapons and Related Production).
We can publicise your news, resources and events through our national email lists, our web site, and our occasional paper mailings. We regularly send out Action Alerts, Backgrounders and Updates (with clear subject headings so you can delete any message without opening it is not a topic you are interested in), and national 'what's on where' listings. We can reach the people who are most likely to act on your information, support your campaign, and attend your meetings or events! More information about how we can help you is available here.
