Off to join the Hikoi today.

Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities (Seymour’s argument stops here.)

Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.  

Justice can take equity one step further by fixing systems in a way that leads to long-term, sustainable, equitable access for generations to come.

I’ll be joining today’s Hikoi while in Auckland, because without Equity and Justice there can be no Equality.

(PS. If you are in Auckland and thinking of joining The Hikoi leaves Onepoto Domain at 10 am)

(PPS. Today’s biting political cartoon is by Anthony Ellison)

Thank you to my Paid Subscribers. Your support for my public journalism work is much appreciated. Please consider restacking this article and/or sending it to friends and whanau as it all helps to build readership.

If you are a Free Subscriber please consider upgrading to Paid. The current government has cut all funding for public interest journalism and the broadscasters are showing little interest in supporting independent investigative documentaries which is why I started this Substack.

Your $9 per month subscription will help me keep working as public interest writer, podcaster and film maker- to speak truth to power and give a public voice to those who have none.
