Here's a few of the things we're doing in Victoria.

Events

Thankyou drinks

To every LEAN member who has worked so hard campaigning for climate action and a carbon price this year, THANKYOU!  Join us on Thursday 10 November at 6.30 pm at La Notte (Lygon st Carlton), and we'll share a drink and celebrate the passage of the clean energy bills into law.  Mark Dreyfus MP QC, Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change, will be joining us.  A $10 entry donation will be gratefully accepted to help raise funds for our continuing campaigns.

Check out the flier for details, here.

Backwards March

In just one year, the Baillieu Government has taken us a decade backwards on the environment.  To protest this appalling record, a coalition of Victorian environment groups are organising the Backwards March - a rally on Sunday 13 November from 1.00 - 2.30 pm outside Parliament House.

See the facebook page for details: http://www.facebook.com/#!/BackwardsMarch.

Campaigns

A carbon price won't happen unless you get out there and make sure it does!  Here's what you can do.

Doorknocking Campaign
