Who Knew?

How many of us actually understand how voting works here in Aotearoa New Zealand?

If you didn’t grow up here, chances are nobody ever sat you down and explained MMP. You figure it out over time, or you don’t figure it out at all.

“Who Knew?” is here to fix that.

How MMP actually works. What is MMP? How does your vote count twice?

What we want. Regardless of who wins the next election, what does this community want from them? What’s our Ask?

Hosted by Ethnic Rainbow Alliance, presented by Kirsty Fong and guests.

WE’RE TAKING PART IN GIVE OUT DAY 2026! 🌈

This year, ERA is aiming to raise $5,000 to keep creating events, workshops, and spaces where ethnic rainbow communities can come together, connect, and celebrate who we are.

And there’s a little bit of magic involved…

✨ Donations made through Give Out Day are matched! ✨

That means your generosity can go twice as far in helping us build stronger, more connected ethnic rainbow communities.

From workshops and creative events to opportunities to meet, share stories, and simply be ourselves, your support makes this work possible.

☀️ $5,000 is our goal.
🌈 Your support gets us there.

Give Out Day 2026 is coming soon.

✨ Last week I had the incredible honor of attending WorldPride Amsterdam 2026 on a scholarship with the HRC conference 🏳️‍🌈

Marching through the streets with Oceania Pride was a truly powerful, real coming-together of community from across the globe. 🌍

A huge thank you to all the hosts, speakers, and volunteers who went above and beyond to make me feel so welcome. 💛

We are stronger together.

Today we celebrate 40 years since the Homosexual Law Reform Bill in Aotearoa.
This milestone honours the courage of the activists, allies, and communities who fought for the right to live openly, love freely, and be treated with dignity. 
At Ethnic Rainbow Alliance, we honour those who came before us while continuing to build a future where every ethnic rainbow person belongs.
🌈 Happy 40 Years of Love 💜
