Hosted by Climate 200 Executive Director Byron Fay and Co-Convenor Simon Holmes à Court, this event is a chance to thank our supporters and continue building momentum ahead of the November Victorian state election.

We’re delighted to be joined by guest speakers Sophie Torney and Shima Ibuki, who are running as independents in the seats of Kew and Hawthorn respectively. They’ll share insights from the campaign trail, learnings and what’s possible for the community independents movement.

‍Whether you’re keen to get involved in your local community group, interested in the future of independent politics, or simply want to see stronger climate action and integrity in State Parliament, this will be an inspiring evening to connect with like-minded people and get the inside scoop on what’s ahead.
