Standing against violence requires actively working for peace and justice, and we have seen that across Aotearoa from people of all experiences and background, whether it is people cooking for each other and caring for each other and gardening for each other and connecting with each other, putting masks on for each other, staying at home for each other, and being vaccinated for each other. Actively working for justice means purposefully naming the injustice and creating better systems to achieve what we all want to see. When there is unilateral violence and aggression, whether by State actors, like the Russian Government invading Ukraine right now, or by some of the individuals who are protesting right outside Parliament, who have assaulted and harassed and put up hateful, hateful vibes towards members of the public and our staff here—when that violence pervades, people get hurt.
