This election, GetUp members fought on the things we believe in – and proved that genuine grassroots campaigning can shift votes on the issues that matter to our movement. May this election serve as an important lesson for the hard-right. If you continue to block progress on a fairer, thriving and more just Australia, a people-powered campaign will come for you, and hold you to account.
Our movement had a huge impact on the election result. Over eight weeks, GetUp volunteers spoke to more than 40,218 undecided voters, handed out over a million how-to-vote cards on election day, and 35,115 people donated an average of just $81 to fund our efforts. Together we proved that everyday people can shift votes off the hard-right on the issues that matter to our movement. Take a look at what our movement achieved.
