WESTIES CAMPAIGN NIGHTS!

7x,
Footscray Library - 56 Paisley St, Footscray VIC 3011, Australia
Come along for a relaxed campaign night to help us win Footscray and Western Metro in the State Election this year! Campaign nights are where we get things done together and have a yarn while we’re at it. We’ll be doing practical campaign work like volunteer recruitment calls, doorknocking prep, and data entry. No experience needed, we’ll run through everything together and provide training :)  If you’ve got a laptop and phone you can bring along that’s a big help, but absolutely not essential. Let us know in advance if you need us to bring a spare laptop for you. Dinner will be provided. Let us know your dietary requirements by responding to the confirmation email after you register Contact ariel.woolston@vic.green.org.au

Weekly Voter Calls

Join us to turn Victoria Green as we call voters ahead of the State Election this November! One-to-one conversations are one of the most powerful tools we have to combat disinformation and the rise of the far right - so join us to lock in support for the Greens + to grow our vote. We're coming together every Wednesday (both online and in person at our State Office - 50 Queen St, CBD) to call prospective Greens voters to chat about the election and our policies. New experience is welcome and encouraged. We always provide training, resources, and support at every session. Dinner will also be provided for those who join in person.

Elena Pereyra

Elena Pereyra

Candidate for Footscray

I’m a westie local, parent, foster carer, Ph.D. candidate and experienced community advocate. 

Our local area deserves a representative who will listen to them. 

I have deep roots in our community and have a history of fighting for the west, engaging in local initiatives and advisory groups focused on active transport, urban ecology, regenerative housing, and climate issues. 

I believe that sustainable community-focused building and living are key to reducing inequality and prioritising ecological and social well-being over profit.

My Ph.D. on housing as an urban commons, my volunteer work with BikeWest and my role on the CoHousing Australia board reflect my dedication to participatory, eco-friendly, cohesive communities.

As your councillor for Wattle, I am committed to working with you to achieve sustainable community-focused development, affordable housing and living, green and flourishing active neighbourhoods, and a thriving arts and culture scene.
