Komiti Pasefika Biennial Fono 2026

Lalaga speaks to Pacific strength weaving together – our stories, our struggles, our faith, our unions, and our communities.

Our Biennial Fono brings together union delegates, workers, whānau, aiga, church leaders, and community leaders from across Aotearoa to stand together against low pay, insecure work, racism, and the high cost-of-living crisis. In an election year, Lalaga is also a call to tula’i mai – to stand strong, speak up, and act collectively. Change will not come from one voice alone; it comes when we weave together our strength, our knowledge, our votes and our voices into a shared movement for fair work, dignity, respect and thriving Pacific families and communities. Grounded in our history of resistance and resilience, from the dawn raids to the daily collective organising of our workers from caregivers, nurses, cleaners, bus drivers, carers, and educators and so many more this Fono is about collective action. We are built for this! To organise, to advocate, to vote, we will shape an Aotearoa where Pacific workers and communities can flourish.
