📢 Where are our Asian voices in local government?

Asian communities make up nearly a third of Auckland's population — yet we’re still underrepresented at the decision-making table.

💬 If you care about your community and want to see real change, consider standing in the 2025 local elections. You don’t need experience, just passion, vision, and a commitment to listen and lead.

🏛️ Stand for Mayor, Councillor, or Local Board member.
🗓️ Nominations close 1 August 2025.

Auckland needs more Asian leaders. Why not you?

🧠 Have you heard of aphasia? 🧠

Aphasia is a language condition that can occur after a stroke or brain injury — it can significantly affect communication, including talking, reading, writing, and understanding others. 🗣️📝

In Aotearoa, around 29,000 people live with aphasia, yet only 1.5% of the population know what it is! Let’s change that. 💛

✨ Aphasia New Zealand supports people living with aphasia and their whānau by:
✅ Offering home and community visits
✅ Facilitating Kōrero (conversation) Clubs
✅ Running support groups
✅ Providing education sessions and workshops to grow understanding and awareness

🙌 You can help too!
Spread awareness. Show support. Start a conversation. 💬

✨ We were honoured to attend Ethnic Advantage 2025 on 28 June, hosted by the Ministry for Ethnic Communities. The event brought together ethnic leaders from across New Zealand to discuss social cohesion, crisis management, and foreign influence.

🤝 The discussions emphasised how strong, connected communities are vital for managing crises and protecting against external pressures.

🌏 At TANI, we believe that fostering social cohesion builds a safer, more inclusive, and united Aotearoa ready to face future challenges.
