AAAP is a political organisation fighting with love for the rights of the people

Auckland Action Against Poverty (AAAP) walk alongside you as you (learn how to) advocate for whānau and yourself for your rights and entitlements, when navigating the system (eg WINZ, ACC, housing, when specialist advocates are available).

We are also activists fighting alongside communities for systems change so that everybody has their human rights.

AAAP is proud to be primarily a volunteer organisation run by the people for the
people. You never have to pay for AAAP advocacy or advice - it is not AAAP advocacy if you are asked to pay.

You can contact us via email at [email protected]
