Communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis are mobilising in response to the government’s approval of the north west shelf extension and the announcement of their inadequate 2035 emissions reduction targets.
Climate 200 has received over a hundred thousand dollars in grant requests from community groups for strategic interventions like early polling, deep digital engagement, and early candidate ID – and that was before the targets were announced.
In the coming weeks, more local climate champions will step forward seeking funding for early polling, candidate ID programs, and deep digital engagement to lay the crucial groundwork to win in 2028. But because people have disengaged from politics after the election, we can't currently meet that demand without further support.
Can you make a regular contribution to support independent campaigns on the front lines of the climate crisis? Promising community groups who want to run and win in 2028 are already submitting grant requests.
We are very excited to support Climate 200 and strongly agree with their goals for action on climate, integrity, and diversity. After meeting the team at Climate 200, we know that they will make sure that every dollar donated is well-targeted and will make a real difference in getting more independent voices into Parliament.
We are proud to support Climate 200 in its mission to support local communities and their independent candidates fighting for action on climate change, equality and integrity. We need our political representation to respond to the concerns of its citizens. We know we are better together and hope you join us in this push for a safe climate and fairer future for all.
We’re frustrated and embarrassed with the lack of meaningful action at the federal level in Australia to address the Climate Emergency. We strongly feel there is a need for more people in the federal government that have the integrity and the independence to act in the interests of future generations. Please join us in supporting the work being done by Climate 200 at this pivotal point.
