Socialist activist Mike Treen, a founder of Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ) Unite Union, spoke to Jackie Kriz about union struggle. Treen was a guest at Ecosocialism 2023.

Ecosocialism 2023: A World Beyond Capitalism conference, hosted by Green Left and co-sponsored by Socialist Alliance, provided a platform for the voices of peace, justice and ecological sustainability from across the region. Sue Bull reports.

A week after the Christchurch mosque attacks, thousands of people mobilised in Auckland for the “Love Aotearoa, hate racism” rally on March 24.
