Flood affected communities need our help! It is undeniable that the devastating floods hitting Australia have been exacerbated by the climate crisis. Not even Scotty from Marketing could spin this one. What is being denied to communities like Lismore is the proper financial assistance and support to recover from this crisis - and prepare for ones to come. Australia has no National Climate Adaptation Plan, and both the Federal and State governments have been shifting blame and responsibility for disasters like these, even on to the victims themselves. The floods have spared no one. But it is the poorest and most vulnerable, many with no insurance or place to go, that are bearing the brunt of this calamity.

Let's show them what solidarity means. Let's show them we care!

Fundraiser event:

Join us on 31 March 6.30pm at Trades Hall for a fundraiser screening of 'Burning' (2021), a documentary about the 2019-2020 Black Summer Bushfires and the movement for climate justice. We will be joined by Patrick Deegan, Northern Rivers local and the Labor Candidate for the seat of Page.

Our selected charity:

GIVIT matches generosity with genuine need. Through its website, community organisations across Australia request essential items and services for their clients. GIVIT matches requests received with donations by generous public and private donors, ensuring our most vulnerable residents receive exactly what they need, when they need it the most. Givit spends 100% of money received on essential needs and 'buy locally' so businesses, often rural, also benefit from your donation.

Our fundraising campaign is being organised in concert with local activists on the ground in the Northern Rivers and other communities suffering from the present crisis, including Patrick Deegan - Labor Candidate for Page.
