Thanks so much to the Public Health Association (PHA Canterbury-West Coast Branch) for doing the hard yards in critically assessing us ECan candidates and providing yet another valuable tool to help voters see through the pics and the short booklet blurbs and into the substance (...or lack of!)👏👏👏 #vote4thecommongood #healthofpeopleandplanet
Snapshots of a classic campaign-filled weekend 🤩 me n the dream team hitting the pavements and doors coming across so many wonderful and supportive voters (thank you!!!); took the stage at Phillipstown's 'Grill the candidates' meet with my compadre @wilkeaxel (and big ups to all my fellow candidates who show up and put your hand up to contribute!); and was opening speaker at @the.conscious.club alongside some super inspirational characters playing their part in creating a better planet 🌏❤ Chch you're awesome x
Still buzzing from today's @schoolstrikeforclimate Still buzzing from today's @schoolstrikeforclimatechch March!! So incredible seeing over 8000 people come together (joining 170,000 around NZ, and millions around the globe!) demanding climate justice. Loved being approached by so many awesome people saying they had voted for @wilkeaxel and I 👏👏 I was way too busy losing my voice cheering on the speakers and talking to people to take a snap so thanks cynthia for the pic before everything got started 😆 #ourfuture #climatestrike #nothingtosmileabout
@genzeronz election score cards are out! And I am @genzeronz election score cards are out! And I am well chuffed that @wilkeaxel and I have been confirmed as the 'A' team! 🤩🤩 ....equally stoked to be the only candidate across ECan, CCC and Community Board that scored a straight 'A' 😌 ...I can't tell you at this point in time how nice it is to be recognised for putting in the hard yards in the climate space. So much more to come if Axel and I can make it across the line! Get your vote on people!! ...and hope to see you at the Intergenerational Climate Strike 1pm tomorrow Cathedral Square!  #vote4thecommongood "We marked highly for well-thought-out policies as we believe the time for concrete climate action is upon us. We also asked for one specific policy that candidates would advocate for. It was very tough to get an A and we gave very few of them out." An 'A' grading means: 'Shows genuine commitment and initiative and is likely to champion climate-smart policies on their own'
Voting papers are out!!Totally overwhelmed with ms Voting papers are out!!Totally overwhelmed with msgs of support from people already getting their vote on for me and @wilkeaxel and the common good!! 👏✊ The shaded area is within our ward, so if you or anyone you know lives here - we would love to rep you! #vote4thecommongood

Ooo @wilkeaxel first (known) artistic addition to Ooo @wilkeaxel first (known) artistic addition to our billboards has come in! 🎨Let's assess: Creative flair: 2/10. A classic black tag keeping in-line with the wider colour palette and fluidity of 'the common good' font. Offensive meter: 0/10. Artist very considerate in placement to ensure minimal disruption to the seeing of faces and reading of the text. Overall grade: 6/10: Clearly a fan/potential voter aiming to enhance rather than detract from our message. A good starting point. Well done 👌🏽 #vote4thecommongood
Had an awesome evening hanging out with the incred Had an awesome evening hanging out with the incredible staff and fellow mentors of @bigbrothersbigsisterschch. So inspired by the everyday actions of BBBS who are totally committed to making a positive difference in young peoples lives. If you think you might have some time and energy to give to buddying up with a young person, get in touch with BBBS, and perhaps as I've found, you might just find your young person mentoring you...😂❤

Today, these brave people. So happy to be there to support @extinctionrebellion with their action today blocking the transport of coal to Lyttelton port. This is just the beginning of XR's action on coal. Will you be part of securing a stable climate for tomorrows people? #blockcoal #xrotautahi
