A Call To Action
Climate Change was identified by the previous Board as one of the top priorities for the national PHAA advocacy focus.
Getup, a national advocacy organisation has identified a new way of bringing this widespread concern to the attention of politicians. They are hoping to redraw the map of Australia to make climate change personal by having people sign on and indicate which electorate they are in. Their signature is then added to a map of Australia with the hope that parliamentarians in each electorate will see the importance of climate change to their constituents... and take action. Their initial target is 250,000 to create a groundswell for change that cannot be dismissed, trivialised or ignored.
Please add your signature and spread the word through your networks. This is a significant public health issue.
