Write Your Future workshop @ National Sustainability Festival
Climate Writers for the first time is coming to Naarm (Melbourne)!
Climate action is an effort that we can all be a part of through writing to politicians. You should know: you don't need to be an expert, you don't need to be an amazing writer, and you don't need to do it alone.
At Write Your Future we teach you in an easy way:
Why contacting politicians is the an effective lever for change
How to write a letter to a politician
Climate topics to write about and letter templates
How to articulate your personal story and connection to climate change
When: Thurs 27 Feb 6pm to 7.30pm
Where: Sanders Place, Richmond
Bring your laptop / tablet!
Who are we?
Climate Writers is a non-partisan grassroots community that empowers the average Australian to advocate for the environment and their local community.
After feeling powerless about government inaction on the bushfires and floods in 2019/2020, we created this community to create space for easy collective climate action.
It has grown through word-of-mouth to 200+ attendees, of which 75% had never written to a politician before. We've sent hundreds of letters, met with dozens of politicians and contributed to policy papers.
We want to raise the conversation about climate to a scale that is impossible for politicians to ignore. It starts with empowering events like these.
