🍻 POLITICS IN THE PUB: HOW DO WE ACTUALLY MAKE CHANGE?
What does a Greens Senator actually do in Canberra? What difference can a state MP make in Spring Street? And how do local campaigns turn community concern into real political power?
Join us for Politics in the Pub — an afternoon of conversation, campaigning and community with Greens representatives and candidates from across the South West region.
Hear from Senator Nick McKim, Greens Senator for Tasmania and Dr Sarah Mansfield MP, Greens MLC for Western Victoria and Deputy Leader of the Victorian Greens, about how political power really works — and how Greens MPs can use their numbers to deliver change.
Then we will hear from our local candidates, with Jesse Holden (Polwarth), Mitch Pope (Bellarine), Emilie Flynn (Geelong), Theresa Slater (Lara) and Izzy Scherrer (South Barwon) talking about what it takes to build political power from the ground up.
🌿 Hear about:
🏛️ How the Greens turn votes and parliamentary numbers into real change
📣 What federal, state and local representatives can actually do
🤝 How grassroots campaigns build power — even before election day
💚 Why every volunteer, conversation, doorknock and letterbox matters
🚀 How you can get involved in the campaigns shaping our region
And because building people-powered politics takes resources, we’ll also be holding a special auction with proceeds going towards our campaigns. So come ready to have some fun and help us continue the momentum of our campaigns.💚
Come along, have a drink, meet the candidates, ask your questions, grab a bargain at the auction and find out how you can help build a stronger Greens presence across the region.
Let's keep building our movement.
Everyone welcome! 🌿
