We are starting each year with our annual Leaders Retreat, a time to ground ourselves, craft focused and actionable plans, and unite as an alliance for 2025. Reflecting on the lessons and experiences of 2024, this retreat allows us to look back in order to move forward with intention. As we are all about people power - It ensures we’re aligned, connected, and ready to advance together with clarity and purpose in the year ahead!
This retreat will be a critical space to:
- Shape our year ahead: Collaborate on fleshing out key actions and plans for 2025.
- Be inspired: Hear from guest speakers who will energise and challenge our thinking.
- Strengthen your organising skills: Deepen your understanding of Te Ohu’s organising model and gain practical tools to build collective people power.
- Learn from each other: Receive updates from Te Ohu Action Groups—Housing, Period Poverty, Te Tiriti, Healthcare, and Decent Work—and Organisational Development.
- Build connections: Forge meaningful relationships with leaders across the alliance.
- Engage deeply: Ask questions, challenge ideas, take up space, and share your stories.
Together, we’ll reflect, strategies, and prepare to take bold, intentional action in 2025.
TE OHU STANDS AGAINST THE TREATY PRINCIPLES BILL
The Treaty Principles Bill does not put food on any tables, it does not lower the cost of groceries or power, it doesn’t build affordable housing, it won’t properly fund the health and education system, it will not further workers' rights, and it won’t make the buses come on time.
The attacks on Te Tiriti in this country are deepening by the week. The Treaty Principles Bill strikes at the heart of the relationship between Māori and Pākehā in particular, and all peoples who share Aotearoa as our home and who share Te Tiriti as our founding taonga.
In the face of attempts to divide our communities, unity is the only antidote.
Communities of Tāmaki Makaurau, it is time to demonstrate our people power for Te Tiriti and against the Treaty Principles Bill which sets out to undermine it.
Our Vision
Build a broad-based alliance that facilitates the organisation of communities in Aotearoa New Zealand toward a future where children and families flourish.
