The New Zealand 2020 General Election is, as of today, only one month away; taking place on Saturday 17 October.
In the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic and economic recession it is times like these make it all the more important to consider what our role as active citizens in a democracy is, and why engaging in the political process is so important.
The Salvation Army Social Policy and Parliamentary Unit (SPPU) have created a 2020 General Election Issues booklet that they hope will help you and I to take our place as active citizens within Aotearoa New Zealand. (Available to download / view here)
SPPU have also created a short video with the wonderful people at Manukau Corps and Community Ministries which highlights some of the big issues that we all need to be thinking about as we make our vote count.
Additional resources are available from The Salvation Army New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga & Samoa Territorial website or The Salvation Army NZFTS facebook page.
