Get Up Stand up

[Radic]

Only 1000 people will be deliberating Australia's future at next week's 2020 Summit - but that's not to say your voice won't be heard. Incredibly, 118 of the chosen delegates are GetUp members, including our Executive Director Brett Solomon, so we're starting a conversation to make sure that your voice is added to theirs before they begin their dialogue about Australia's future.

 

Have your say on what you want our country's future to look like on our 2020 forums - and we will deliver your ideas direct to the decision makers heading to Canberra:

The forums have been started by GetUp members attending the Summit, and they're keen to make sure your ideas are heard. Add your comments and your new big ideas to our online forums - to make sure the Summit recommendations reflect the issues that are important to you.

 

The Summit is a golden opportunity to let the Australian Government - and a whole range of people representing the Australian community - know where we'd like our country to go. We'll deliver the top ideas from each forum to the Summit delegates, so add your idea now and vote for the ones you care most about:

It's rare to have such a concrete opportunity to look beyond the immediate political term in Australia - but it's forums like these where nation-building ideas are born. This is your chance to let those on the inside of 2020 know what you think.

 

Thanks for making it happen,

The GetUp team

 

PS - If you're a GetUp member going to the Summit and we haven't been in touch yet, please let us know by emailing Sally

 

PPS - It's National Youth Week - an important time to remember the thousands of homeless young people living on our streets. Click here to hear Tegan talk about her experiences. Tegan is a homeless young person involved with the Oasis youth centre, which was featured in a documentary, 'The Oasis', screened on the ABC last night.

You must have received the same e-mail I got this morning.

 

I'm definitely saying something. Not sure what or in which section? This is the only chance to have a say in this now as submissions for the summit closed on the 9th April.

 

I wonder if any one else made a submission about pot, medicinally or otherwise? I also had a look at the 1000 chosen for the summit and can't find any prominent drug experts. No Alex Wodak for instance. You can get the list here:

Thanks for posing this Radic.. you beat me to it

 

I was quite impressed to read that 118 Getup members are on the 2020 summit, esp. Solomon

 

Surely now is the time to get Getup interested in the end of cannabis prohibition.. they're probably the only organisation in this country that will actually listen to us and has any sort of political influence.
