Hope to see you there,
Michelle, GetTogether Coordinator – for the GetUp team
P.S. Yesterday 6,000 GetUp members contacted their politicians in one day regarding the urgent issue of reducing our carbon pollution. Already MPs in marginal-seats are flooding the ALP headquarters with the news of how many votes they’d get if they took strong climate action. Join us this Thursday night to take part in this historic election campaign.

Dear NEVILLE,
A GetUp community in each neighbourhood, leading the charge on issues like climate change, asylum seekers and mental health. Next week we’ve got the opportunity to build this community by coming together in homes and cafes across the country, including in your neighbourhood.
On Thursday July 22 from 7pm – 8.30pm, GetUp members like you will be getting together. Click on the link below to find an ‘Election Action GetTogether’ already organised in your neighbourhood – or host your own.

This is not about just having a yarn. This is about getting together with like-minded people in your area to agree on a simple but effective local action plan from here until election day.
Here’s how it works:
– Click below and enter your postcode to find a GetTogether in your area.
– Come along on Thursday week to meet the lovely GetUp members of your neighbourhood. Everyone brings some snacks or a plate of food.
– Together you go through GetUp’s easy step-by-step guide and pick one or two local actions to take this election.
If every group holds one enrolment drive, or one local event, or covers one polling booth on election day, together we can create an election effort to rival the big money of political parties. Can you help make it happen?

This election, GetUp isn’t about the parties, the pollies or the pundits. We’re about the issues: turning around rising carbon pollution; fixing our broken mental health system; and demanding a more compassionate approach to asylum seekers.

We’ll see you there,
The GetUp team
PS – Rumours out of Canberra are that the election could be called as early as tomorrow. Click here to take part in our 2010 election campaign in your neighbourhood.
