Te Ohu Whakawhanaunga Tāmaki Makaurau is comprised of community, union, faith and other relevant groupings from across civil society. We are a broad-based community organisation that fosters active citizenship and civil society leaders with the ability to negotiate with decision-makers toward systemic and structural change. Communities know what is wrong, they know what has to change but to fix the way things currently work in Aotearoa requires a breadth of leadership from many organisations that gives voice to these issues, and disciplined organisation that ensures these voices are heeded. 

If your community, union, or faith group is interested in becoming a member of Te Ohu Whakawhanaunga Tāmaki Makaurau but you want to know more about Te Ohu, please contact us today at [email protected] or [email protected]. 

One of our organisers will get in touch with you for a relational meeting and we go from there.
