Join us on Thursday February 13 to learn how best to engage your local MP and election candidates! There are two options:

Ahead of a federal election where cost of living issues are dominating headlines and political agendas, it's vitally important we help MPs and candidates understand how climate solutions can ease cost of living pressures.

Meeting your MP or election candidates in your area is an incredibly powerful way to help make that happen. And even parents doing it for the first time come away feeling great about it!

It can feel intimidating to contemplate if you've never done it before though, and there are some useful tips to make it go well. So our Thursday February 13 training will give you all the information you need to feel confident.
