Its a sad day when you have to protest to keep something that makes sense

Along with Rawiri Community House and our very own mangere enviro hub we have been told that we will need to leave the land and our community vulnerable.

Will we think that this government has caused enough damage, enough is enough it’s time to listen to the people!

Hear our voice Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities stop this stop making empty promises, there heaps of land bare build that first then instead of taken something we all worked hard together.

Help save our community, help save our whanau

Share, post and scream as loud as you can!
