GET INVOLVED
Your support helps Belong Aotearoa to improve the settlement experience for migrants and refugees in Aotearoa.
As local elections approach, we asked Auckland’s mayoral candidates how they plan to support migrant and former refugee communities. Their responses highlight different perspectives on belonging, inclusion, and the role of Council in shaping our city’s future. We hope this helps you make a more informed decision when you vote.
