So grateful to be able to wear this badge

I absolutely love this badge, and am so grateful that it exists. I wear it on my ID at mahi, both to acknowledge and honour my personal, and our organisational commitment to honouring te tiriti. Especially in these times, doing something as simple as wearing this to signifying to our Māori whānau that they have allies, feels like the least we can do. Thank you team
