Kia ora Friend
Mānawatia a Matariki! We
hope you can take a moment to pause, give thanks, reflect on the year
past, and prepare for the year ahead. We've included a link to loads
of Matariki resources below if you're looking for
inspiration.
It's election year so we're flat-out supporting a
number of important campaigns aiming to influence political parties
and voters alike. For those still considering a campaign we've put
together a rough guide - spoiler alert - you need to get cracking
now!
We've won another award
alongside Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, we're talking about AI in
political campaigns, and have a link to a disturbing analysis on
password security (a favourite topic of Kristin's)

Another win! For Purpose and Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori won a prestigious
Silver Polaris Award for the public storytelling campaign 'Stories of Te Reo'.
This award not only
recognises The Māori Language Commissions' accomplishments but also
highlights the importance of protecting and celebrating Te Reo Māori.
We believe that language is a powerful tool for cultural identity and
wellbeing and are proud to support this kaupapa. We are grateful that
Josh Harden of Ngāti Rānana and Makere Carroll from Te Taura Whiri i
te Reo Māori were able to accept the award in person in London earlier
this month. |

Our first election campaign launched is Better taxes for a Better Future for The Fair Tax
Coalition, providing tools for anyone who wants to get behind building
a better tax system in Aotearoa. This is a kaupapa For Purpose are
happy to support, tax can seem complicated - but really it's not and
we think a better tax system is essential to tackling current and
future challenges and building a better future for everyone. Creating
a brand with a bright colour palette and incorporating visual motifs
to reflect Aotearoa and the people of the coalition, we also developed
the website using our own Nationbuilder theme designed for social
change campaigns.

How strong are your passwords?
We've been a bit underwhelmed recently talking to clients
about digital security. After phishing, weak passwords are the most
likely way you will get hacked. We strongly recommend the use of a
password manager. Make sure you know how strong your passwords need to
be in this article from Hive Systems.
