Organising at the local level is a key part of GetUp’s Action Network, which are groups of GetUp members across the country who meet regularly to work on important campaigns and build power locally. Action Groups have been part of some of the biggest progressive achievements of the past decade, including securing Marriage Equality and putting an end to Tony Abbott’s 25 year reign in Warringah. Everyone is welcome to come along to a local Action Group event and learn more about it.
The Adelaide Action group is made of activists from all across the suburbs of Adelaide and beyond! Last year we were having conversations in our communities about People not Polluters, rallying in solidarity with Traditional Owners against fracking in the NT and calling for greater climate action and this year we expanded to talk to people across SA and NT about protecting cultural heritage and climate and voting for a government who would legislate it! Now we gotta keep this new govt. honest! We’re a friendly and social group, who love a good potluck dinner and a banner painting sesh too – come join our next event (details below)!
GetUp Australia:
• Who we are: We believe in a fair, flourishing and just Australia – for all. But a decade of failed political leadership has let our communities down and left people behind. The GetUp Action Network is a home for anyone who’s ready to make real change possible by joining and leading Action Groups right across the country.
• Our Story: We launched the GetUp Action Network in 2017 to take GetUp’s impact to the next level. Since, ordinary people like you have had hundreds of thousands of powerful conversations with fellow citizens on critical issues. And from Marriage Equality, to the campaign to end Tony Abbott’s 25-year reign in Warringah, we’ve been part of some of the biggest progressive achievements of the decade!
