When foundational rights come under attack, movements need clarity, strategy and strong pathways to win. In this webinar, Māori activists will share how they developed a clear critical path to defend Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi) in the face of coordinated attacks. The conversation will focus on movement strategy, decision-making under pressure, and how we share lessons across borders to build campaigns capable of winning big when it matters most.
