Conscious Collaborations, ImagineNative Action and Te Whanau o Nice n Native
Concentrating on supporting the whanau of the arresstees, appropriately enough as an overwhelming majority of the
peoples arrested, harrassed and intimidated by the police are tangata Maori. At the moment a lot of whanau are under extreme financial pressure (often the sole bread-winner is behind bars, and there have been cases of the poaka kahurangi - cops - confiscating childrens clothing). So it is really important that we support them through donations of putea ($$), food and clothing.
