We are keeping the third demand here as this is consistent with the call of Māori for constitutional change. Thus we have actively supported Te Hikoi mō te Tiriti.
The Third Demand of Extinction Rebellion Aotearoa:
Go Beyond Politics:
Me hanga, me whai anō Te Kāwanatanga i ngā whakatau a Te Runanga a Iwi, a te kotahitanga o ngā iwi mō te āhuarangi me ngā mōtika o ngā toiora katoa. Kia mau te hira me te oranga ki te tini me te mano puta noa i te ao. (He mea hanga Te Runanga i ngā tāngata korara o tētahi hāpori.)
The Government must assist in the construction and adhere to the decisions reached by citizen assemblies, and the united tribes about the climate and the rights of all life forms. That health, wellbeing and prosperity be secured for the myriad forms of life in the universe. (The citizens’ assembly is established by the residents of a community through sortition.)
End Fossil Fuels for <2 degrees
