JustSpeak is a movement of young people who are speaking up and speaking out on criminal justice for a thriving Aotearoa.
We develop youth-led tools, resources, spaces and support to facilitate a public conversation on criminal justice informed by evidence and lived experience.
Punitive attitudes are a barrier to positive change in criminal justice and form the context within which policies and legislations in our criminal justice sector are formed. Together young people can change this conversation and transform our justice system to be fair, just and compassionate.

Tania brings leadership, passion and excellent taste in office treats to the JustSpeak team.

Kirsten is our champion of volunteers and juggler of many balls.
