OLSEN Jen - Candidate profile
Affiliation: The Radical Action Faction
My principal place of residence is in the Dunedin City Council area.
I am a committed activist for climate justice. It’s time to tell the truth about the climate and ecological emergency and act as if it is real.
I’m with the Radical Action Faction. I will pull out all the stops to reduce our emissions and support the transition to a low carbon future.
I will work with mana whenua to protect our natural environment.
I support active transport, waste reduction, local food production and housing for all. I welcome migrant communities, refugees and minorities to settle and thrive in Ōtepoti.
I will work with Local Government New Zealand to pressure the government of the day to fund climate action and adaptation locally and nationally.
I believe in true local democracy and I will work to establish People’s and Citizen’s Assemblies to discuss the important issues that are affecting our communities and let the people decide what action should be taken.
