PLANNING NIGHT – WE NEED YOU!!!
Please join us on 7 May for our annual Planning Night at the Pub for 2024. The stage is set, but we need diverse voices from the community to help us plan our tactics leading up to the next election.
Our campaign focus is NO NEW COAL OR GAS. We are tackling this with a three-pronged approach:
- INFLUENCE – Engaging with our local Federal representatives to advocate for direct climate action
- COLLABORATION – Expanding Higgins CAN’s reach and engagement through our associated member groups
- ENGAGEMENT – Bringing the wider community along on the journey, reaching swinging voters and people who care about climate
Do you have ideas for actions we can take to make a difference? Do you have any skills you can bring to Higgins CAN’s small and dedicated volunteer team? Do you want to be part of the solution?
Please bring your enthusiasm for climate action along to the Planning Night at the Pub and enjoy an optional meal with like-minded neighbours. We will have a special guest facilitator on the night to help drive a productive discussion – this is an event not to be missed!
All welcome. Hope to see you there.

RISE UP FOR CLIMATE
Higgins Climate Action Network will be partnering with local representatives of the Australian Conservation Foundation, Move Beyond Coal, Australian Youth Climate Coalition, 350.org and GetUp! to convey a clear message to the Albanese Government: NO MORE COAL AND GAS
Similar actions will be happening in electorates across Australia from Monday 29 April to Friday 10 May. Together we’re aiming to turn out enormous crowds of people speaking up for the climate – more than we’ve seen in years! With a federal election expected next year, and climate destruction getting worse, Rise Up is our moment to show the government just how powerful our combined movement for climate action is.
Please register below to join us at for our own local vigil outside Dr. Michelle Ananda-Rajah’s new electoral office, details below.
Lighter Footprints is also supporting an action outside Senator Raff Ciccone’s office: Wednesday 8 May, 12PM @ 1A Blackburn Rd, Blackburn VIC 3130.
