Welcome to the GetUp Melbourne Ports Action Group! This group is for all GetUp members and friends who live in the federal electorate of Melbourne Ports and want to work together locally to create a more fair, flourishing and just Australia. Local action groups are a new and exciting step for the GetUp movement. Right now with pressure mounting, local action groups will focus on the #WeCanDoBetter campaign but over the coming months we will evaluate, experiment and learn from our experiences to develop local action groups ready to tackle any critical issue.
GetUp’s mission is to create a thriving democracy by giving everyday Australians the chance to make extraordinary impact – online, across the airwaves, and in the streets.

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!
