About Us
We need System Change Not Climate Change to save our planet from capitalism.
Who We Are
System Change Aotearoa is an ecosocialist campaign group. We believe that capitalism is the root cause of the climate crisis; that extreme inequality is inextricably linked to environmental breakdown; and that a just transition to a fair and sustainable society is only possible if the capitalist system is abolished. We believe that workers and trade unions must be at the heart of fighting the system, and that through strike action, it is possible for the working class to resist and ultimately overthrow the major corporations who are destroying our planet for the sake of their vast profits.
We are a decolonial organisation, and believe that the liberation of indigenous peoples is central to the working class struggle. We are opposed to imperialism and war, and support global resistance to colonial expansion in countries such as Palestine and West Papua. We are committed to upholding Tino Rangatiratanga and Mana Motuhake on this land.
We seek to build a coalition of trade unionists, tangata whenua, environmentalists and anti-capitalists, committed to fighting for System Change Not Climate Change.
What We Do
We organise protests and participate in marches and rallies organised by likeminded groups; we hold public meetings and film screenings to promote ecosocialist ideas; we hold reading groups and meetings for our members to discuss ideas and current events; and we publish articles and opinion pieces on our website. Our aim is to help build and strengthen movements for a better world for the many, not the few.
We are based in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland.
