Due to a significant change in the funding landscape, we are dependent more than ever on individuals to support our work. We don't accept funding from the Government because it is essential that we can continue to be a critical voice for change, regardless of who is in power.
This means we rely on the generosity of our supporters and funders; people like you, who share our vision for a fair, just and compassionate Aotearoa New Zealand.
Together we have made enormous progress towards our vision, but there is much work to be done into the future. Our plans for 2025 and beyond to advance this kaupapa centre around our three strategic pillars, each vital to achieving lasting systemic transformation.
Capacity and Community Building
JustSpeak builds capacity and capability within our community and across the wider justice movement, to achieve lasting systems change. We do this by investing in education and outreach, facilitating volunteer opportunities, and working collaboratively with allied organisations.
Narrative and Media
To transform the justice system, we need to shift public attitudes and beliefs about justice, linking our collective values to a compelling vision for the future. We do this by replacing outdated narratives about law and order with new conversations about prevention, healing and community well-being - all supported by credible evidence.
Advocacy and Campaigns
Transforming our justice system requires our decision makers to actively improve policy and redirect resources towards social and community wellbeing. We do this by advocating for evidence-based policy and legislation through public campaign work and keeping our government accountable on justice issues.
