Wow! Let's celebrate the huge growth in our Kooyong Votes Climate Campaign
Thanks to all your efforts climate is truly the number one issue in Kooyong!
As we can see from a millions of dollars over the top PR response and the massive amount of national attention (check our Press page for some highlights), the Kooyong Votes Climate campaign has really struck a nerve.
We should be so proud of this historic collaborative campaign, with local groups working together, bringing in well over three hundred new volunteers, and helping to create a near 8% swing, making sure that climate remains top of the agenda.
The challenge is what do we do now.
The Kooyong alliance is in the processing of forming new action groups - energy transition; laying the groundwork for a climate emergency declaration; accelerating local emissions reduction and preparing for the Council elections; and making sure that Australians are protected against the massive impacts new of coal mines, especially in the Galilee Basin, the home of the fourth largest source of carbon on the planet.
Stay tuned for new working group meetings and events in the coming weeks.
