Time to bring the #wearebeneficiaries stories back. Christopher Luxon needs to know the stories behind the people he chooses to target for political gain.

Our friends at @ActionStation are running a Triple the Vote campaign. The choice is clear this October: a Government that will protect people and planet or one that will prioritise corporate profits and deepen division. Triple the Vote TODAY šŸ“· bit.ly/45QrrSN

I'm struggling to talk about the WINZ sanctions because as a disabled person who spent 5yrs on jobseeker it is quite literally my greatest fear to need to access it again. But here's one of my experiences

As an organisation we don’t normally do this but have decided that we’re going to be vocal in our support for Marc ā€œActionā€ Jackson ā€˜Triple the Vote’ campaign. Too much is at stake for all of us!!!

We’ve been looking at National and ACT welfare policies and they’re truly disgusting - here’s a breakdown:

No surprises here: National Party confirms plans to cut social security benefits: indexing to cost of living rather than wages would see someone on jobseeker allowance $40 a week worse off by 2027; pays for tax cuts for others; deepens poverty & inequality nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/el…

Nats' plan to take money away from beneficiaries to give to wealthy property investors is as cruel as it is expected. Their bleak vision of Aotearoa is one where only the top 1% thrive at the expense of everyone else. For an Income Guarantee for *everyone*, party vote Green.

It’s a special type of cruelty to deliberately support policies that mean more people are unemployed and then punish them for being unemployed: Watch: Government further increases sanctions for beneficiaries | RNZ News rnz.co.nz/news/political…

My #jobseeker received an email from #Winz late evening to attend a 10am meeting next morning. Because he didn't open the email in time, he missed the meeting. In fact the 1st thing he knew about it was when he was notified that his benefit was being halved.
