Climate action is a collective effort that we can all be a part of.
One way you can take effective climate action is by communicating and advocating with your local representatives. Local MPs value the opinions and views of their constituents and as your community’s representative they want to know what’s important to you. A great way to communicate your views with them is by writing to them, but where to start?
The Climate Writers team are here to bust a few myths about writing to your local representative: you don’t need to be an expert; you don’t need to be an amazing writer; and you definitely don’t need to do it alone.
When: 12 April, 11am-1pm
Where: Marrickville Golf Club
At this workshop, Climate Writers will teach you in an easy way:
- Why contacting politicians is the most effective lever for systemic change
- How to write a letter to a politician
- Climate topics to write about and letter writing templates
- How to reflect on and communicate your personal story and connection to climate change
All attendees are asked to bring a laptop to participate in this workshop.
Climate Writers is a non-partisan grassroots community that empowers the average Australian to become lifelong advocates for the environment and their local community.
