Community Engagement Report for developing a National Action Plan Against Racism Summary of Tangata Tiriti ideas for developing the Plan Tangata Tiriti participants wanted to see the following actions included in the Plan, as well as the process for its development, implementation and measurement of progress. These actions have been arranged according to the five pillars used above. Tangata Tiriti Ideas to include in the Plan 1. Supporting tino rangatiratanga Constitutional transformation • Fully acknowledge and commit to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, including through committing to constitutional transformation. • Implement the findings of the Matike Mai Aotearoa and He Puapua reports. • Foster connections between Tangata Whenua and migrant communities, informally and through more formal mechanisms. • Make Tiriti education available for migrant communities. • Hold government agencies to account for equitable outcomes for Tangata Whenua as a Tiriti partner. Immigration 2. Diversity and inclusion • Review current immigration policies and processes. • Establish pathways to residency for ‘low-skilled’ migrants. • Create a safe pathway for those in precarious visa situations to access services. • Create a complaints pathway so those in precarious visa situations can report crime, abuse or labour violations without affecting their visa status. • Support better integration and settlement for migrants. • Recognise the contributions that migrants make to Aotearoa. Acceptance and inclusion • Create opportunities for regular public conversations to build knowledge about social cohesion and the value of diversity. • Celebrate diversity, including through festivals, food, art, theatre, sport and other opportunities. • Support communities to show that stereotypes about them are not accurate. • Increase funding for community organisations engaged in anti-racist work, and social cohesion and diversity and inclusion work, and incentivise those who do not yet engage in this work to do so. • Provide intersectional funding to prioritise intersectional issues, rather than limiting organisations to their siloed programmes. • Increase diversity in leadership roles, including diverse representation in local and central government and other decision-making positions and incentivising diverse leadership in the private sector. • Develop a Digital Inclusion Plan that ensures all communities benefit equally.
