Disabled people are increasingly self-organising to defend their rights, and the website had to be changed to better support the growing campaign.
Finding information
It is becoming harder to find specific information on the website, such as event details, resources, and contact information because it is growing daily.
Solution
Create a home page that helps people find what they are looking for. This page will be updated every day. > more

Solution
Create a home page for each local group that allows the promotion of specific campaigns. This page can be updated whenever needed. > more

Solution
Set up a national media team of volunteers from anywhere in Aotearoa-New Zealand who have excellent media skills. > more

Set up a tech support team of volunteers from anywhere in Aotearoa, New Zealand, with excellent IT skills. > more
