As with the Labor party, LEAN organises on a state-by-state basis. Although many campaigns we work on have a national flavour it much more effective to coordinate in this way. Click below on your state or territory to find out how to get involved. Our state and territory branches provide the opportunity to connect with other Labor supporters and members who are committed to ensuring Labor leads the country to a cleaner safer future.
You can also get involved in by
- If you are a Labor member or supporter, get in touch with your local Labor branch or Labor parliamentarian and let them know you want action on climate and the environment. Get in contact with your state or territory convenor to help you facilitate this.
- Labor has always known that winning government federally is crucial. But there is lots to do at State and local level too on climate change, just like there is on other environmental issues. States control things like how easy it is for a farmer to put a wind farm on his or her own land, for example, or run solar and batteries subsidies programs. Local governments are also on the frontline of climate action. Contact your local representatives and ask them what they’re doing on climate change and environmental protection and how you can help.
- More local LEAN groups are opening up to make it easier for more Labor members and supporters to work on climate change. Get in touch with your State/territory branch or LEAN National to discuss what we can do together.
- Become a LEAN branch rep for your local Labor branch and keep your community updated on the latest campaigns and environmental news.
- Making sure you’re enrolled to vote and vote in all elections - local, state and federal.
