We know this suffering, this extremism born of racial supremacy, this theft of identity. Send your community our aroha (love) and that we will together prevail over this hate and racism in Aotearoa. It doesn’t belong in Aotearoa. We fight it every day and we vow to fight it even more. We want to stand together with our Muslim brothers and sisters and denounce this clearly as an extreme form, the racism that is actually prevalent across our land.

We will continue to struggle for peace and justice in Aotearoa and offer our deep heartfelt sympathy for your pain.
To be clear, we will not accept this as an insult to mental health or an isolated crazy-man.

Hatred is promoted, tolerated and disseminated in this country everyday and our work against it is labelled as waste of time by many people in charge of this country. We face hostility every time we go out to struggle for peace and justice.

We vow to continue our struggle. Our deepest sympathy and love to your whanau and community.

Lastly, we plea to all your people young and old to stand hopeful that we will overcome these oppressive and racist forces in our land. Retain your hope, your mana and your well-being.

“We at NESFAS and The Indigenous Partnership for Agrobiodiversity and Food Sovereignty (TIP) acknowledge and therefore promote communities and societies that have been founded on the matriarchal values of nurturing, sharing, non-violent social structures and gender equality. We believe that such communities and societies have traditionally championed sustainable and eco-friendly approaches to food, agriculture and the well being off all. Their traditional values still offer the best basis to promote local and global peace and justice but are unfortunately being marginalised by the current dominant values of patriarchal societies”.
