Join the Climate Council for a behind-the-scenes look at what it’ll take to meet this moment, what history has told us about how to get it right, and how you can be a force for change in your own community in the fight for a safer future.

Reflect and refocus
May marks one year since we started the Voices of O’Connor journey. the anniversary provides a good opportunity to get together and look back at what we have (and haven’t) achieved in our first 12 months and to look ahead at where we might want to head over the next 1, 2 and 3 years in the lead up to the 2028 Federal election.
With this in mind we very much hope you will be able to join us at an Albany venue TBD starting around 1pm and winding up by 4pm on Sunday 18th May.
