The Systems Change Advocacy, Support and Solidarity (SASS) Group was founded in 2022 by a core group of experienced, hands-on changemakers, fiercely passionate about community-led, relationship-based, collaborative systems change and creating a more equitable future in Aotearoa New Zealand.

They also recognised the potential for uplifting one another and for developing a collective voice. Read more at our website.
