GetUp Organising Fellowship 2020

For years, climate denying politicians and coal lobbyists have traded our planet for profit, setting us hurtling towards catastrophe. But another future is possible. We can create a future where our forests are flourishing, our systems are just and our communities are thriving.

But to do it, we need a movement of everyday people, demanding change now.

That's why we're asking you to join the Climate Organising Fellowship.
