Welcome and introductions

From Wellington, here because of the Aotearoa Youth Voices Facebook group and not affiliated with any organization, just here as an interested person.

Hi - I am really interested in how Loomio works to engage discussion around the census results. I love the way Stats NZ presents its data and involving more people has got to be a good thing. I live in Wellington, not representing any organisation.

Kia ora
I'm Kay Jones from Mt Victoria Wellington, 3rd generation Wellingtonian and 6th generation New Zealander. I belong to lots of community groups and work part-time.

I believe in evidence based policy making and in good practice (not always best practice because that implies waiting for full agreement). I would like to see transport decision making to include environmental and climate considerations. I would like to see health service funding and decision making to consider population diversity including gender variations.

I am Charley! I have no affiliation to any organisation - I am a non-binary queer person concerned with how institutions interact with queer (particularly trans, especially non-binary) youth. Having a clear way to collect data about people like me and the way we live is the first step towards real, vital change.

Hi I'm Rowan, I don't have any affiliation to any organisation. Like Charley I'm non-binary queer concerned with how institutions are interacting with the queer population.
