Branch Reps

LEAN is one of the most active and powerful grassroots organisations within the Labor Party at local, state and federal levels. Our success depends on the energy, commitment and hard work of all our volunteers. We have run and won many campaigns since 2014 which include 50/50 emissions reductions and renewables, and reform of the federal environment laws.

 We are moving to further build our network across the country so that we can respond and campaign more quickly, more effectively and more ambitiously to influence climate change and environmental policy within Labor, and to improve outcomes for Labor and so for Australia.

 That’s where you come in.

We have established a network of LEAN branch representatives in ALP branches across the country. You will be part of a passionate group of Labor and LEAN members who work collaboratively, supportively, respectfully to ensure our voices are heard. Oh and we also like to laugh and have fun while doing so.

Local or sub-branches are often a neglected part of the Labor party family, but they are its engine room. Working at this level, invigorating branch meetings and offering Labor members ways to work with others to make the change has been the secret to LEAN’s success. We want to turbo charge our capacity to work with fellow members to make the Labor party better.

So what would you be doing?

Your branch rep role would be: 

  • To present to the branch about LEAN’s campaigns & LEAN news
  • To communicate with state/territory/regional LEAN executives about your branch’s local climate change and environmental issues, knowledge, concerns and ideas.
  • To identify others who might want to join LEAN and get more involved
  • To help LEAN build relationships with elected Labor representatives at all levels of government, within the party and with the wider community, starting with those who represent your local area
  • Work with other like-minded people in branches near to you to influence your state and federal electorate forums and your parliamentary reps at the electorate level

 Join us and help build LEAN’s capacity. Be a part of protecting and restoring our natural environment. Be a part of the move to a prosperous, climate resilient, low carbon future.
