As ACF Australia notes on their Community HubAs we hit the halfway mark of this critical decade for solving the climate and extinction crisis, we must harness all of our power to engage the wider community and demand our next Parliament acts urgently.

ACF have a number of resources on their Community Hub including their National Agenda For Australia's Nature and Climate that lays out exactly what the next parliament must do to the solve the dual climate and extinction crisis:

  • Protect nature: Stop the bulldozing of the bush    
  • Say yes to renewable energy: Power everything we can with clean, cheap energy from wind and sun.    
  • Say no to nuclear: Australia's future is renewable, not radioactive    
  • Say no to new coal and gas: No more green lights for big, climate-wrecking coal and gas polluters   

The National Agenda provides a summary of the issues and a clear action plan to address them that we hope community and Parliament will get behind.

Other actions you can take:

  • Let candidates know you care and will vote for nature and climate. You can take this pledge, which will notify your sitting MP that you have committed to voting for nature and climate.  
  • You can also use the community pulse as a tool for deep persuasive conversations and ask people to pledge to vote for nature and climate at stalls and events.   
  • Share the pledge and the community pulse tool with your networks.

For those wishing to join the group after the meeting for a chat with like-minded people, head to Elgins, 51 - 53 Elgin Boulevard, Wodonga.

We look forward to seeing you soon!  And, yes, we'll have some refreshments for those attending at the Hyphen.

IMPORTANT:  Please email us at [email protected] to let us know how you would like to attend.  If you are attending in person we can cater for you.  If you are attending online, we'll send the link to join when you RSVP.
