We are throwing open our election campaign headquarters for a Community Festival Campaign Launch in Fitzroy on Saturday 12 September: You’re invited!

We’ll hear about what’s at stake, enjoy local dance and music from our diverse community and eat delicious food together. This will be a gorgeous, memorable opportunity to connect with the different parts of our movement who all want to see Gab re-elected as our beloved Greens MP for Richmond.

All are welcome. 

What: Join us for an afternoon of community performances, good food, and get to meet Gab and see what our campaign is all about. Featuring performances from:

• Award-winning musician, dancer, director, and proud Djab Wurrung/Gunditj Mara and Ngarrindjeri man, Amos Roach
• Aboubacar Djéliké Kouyate, a Malian musician sharing the rich oral and instrumental traditions of West Africa
• Palestinian Dabke by Jafra Dabke
• Red Raven Morris, traditional English Morris dancing with live music, jingling bells, clashing sticks and handkerchiefs
• Dance performance with Jenny Huang (Yarra Ethnic Arts Exchange).
• Bharatanatyam dance performance with Mavi Rasa.

When: 4-7pm  Saturday, September 12

Where: 7/144 George Street, Fitzroy

RSVP: This event is free but please RSVP so we can plan for accessibility and refreshments.

Why: From securing renters’ rights and funding for community health, to pushing to save our public housing from demolition, Gab de Vietri has been fighting to keep our local communities green, affordable, and a place where anyone can build a life, not just make a living. 

Street by street, door by door, our campaign is energised, and growing with each passing day. Whether you are completely new to politics, or an experienced campaigner, this event is for you.

Getting there: The campaign office is near the 86/12/11/109 tram lines, the closest train station is Collingwood. There is limited parking in surrounding streets.
