2024 Winner - Frances Mountier 

Is it time for a Climate Justice Union for Aotearoa?
 

Across 2024, Frances Mountier held 50 kōrero with unionists, climate justice activists, community organisers, and researchers, asking is it time for a Climate Justice Union for Aotearoa? Yes, there is a need for a Climate Justice Union for Aotearoa; not a trade union but a union in both form and method. A membership-based, mass, democratic, participatory organisation. That fights for tangible wins, with the fights undertaken by those who need the wins, and in doing so, pulls more people in. It builds the organisation - builds power - through those wins. That is situated here in Aotearoa, that stands in solidarity with tino rangatiratanga and stands for peace and justice, with a clear set of political pou.
