Vote With Aroha placards
Could you spread the love this election season, by putting a placard up on your home, business or church?
Most people in Aotearoa want to live in a country where we have each other's backs — where we support one another and unite to protect what we love.
In an election season that can feel like it’s a zero-sum game, we can reclaim a politics that puts our shared values first. A politics that imagines an Aotearoa where everyone has enough to thrive, where our environment is protected, and where Te Tiriti o Waitangi is honoured.
No matter which party you back, help put aroha at the forefront of this election.
Order a placard for your home, business or church, and help remind our communities that when we vote with aroha, we vote for each other.

No Voice Uncounted.
Enrolment deadlines have changed. Hundreds of thousands could miss out on voting. Let’s ensure our neighbours’ voices get heard in the 2026 general election.
We are supporting churches to:
1) Host an enrolment Sunday in September to get your own church enrolled and ready to vote.
2) Form a team to support people in your wider community to enrol to vote. Use your existing relationships and ministries to support and encourage your neighbours.

No Voice Uncounted events
Over dessert and coffee, come and hear from Common Grace Aotearoa Co-Directors about how we are organising to enrol people to vote and to remind them to follow through and vote this election, and how you and your faith community could be involved.
We won’t be telling you or your community which parties or candidates to vote for, but together, we can help ensure that thousands of voices that might otherwise get shut out of our democracy, get heard this election.
Whether you are a church leader, small group leader or just someone passionate about democracy, we invite you to go on a mission with us to ensure as many voices as possible are counted in your community.

We are putting together a 3-part workshop series, launching in May 2026, designed for home groups, churches, or even just a group of friends around a dinner table.

Theology: Why Jesus cares deeply about these justice issues of climate, economic and Te Tiriti justice.
Lived experience: How these issues are currently impacting communities across Aotearoa
Action: How the Church can be a voice for transformation in the public sphere.

Email the Climate Minister to review Methanex’s free carbon credits
We’re calling on the Minister of Climate Change to review Methanex’s free carbon credits in light of the findings of our report Methanexit: Should NZ be subsidising our largest gas user?

Have your say on the second Emissions Reduction Plan.
Call for a climate plan that stops subsidising pollution. Have your say by 21st of August using our submission guide.
