We are Hawkesbury and Blue Mountains people who care about the future of our communities, our homes, and the natural world. We are working together for the protection and improvement of these places, through ensuring global temperatures are kept below 1.5 degrees warming. Our vision is for thriving communities within healthy ecosystems, where no one is left behind. 

To achieve this we are calling on all Federal candidates to advocate for urgent action on climate change through supporting:

1. A much stronger 2030 emissions reduction target for Australia
2. Fast tracking clean energy and ending fossil fuel subsidies 
3. Support for workers and communities transitioning from fossil fuels
4. Integrity in politics

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we live - the Darug, Gundungurra and Darkinjung people - and we acknowledge their connections to culture, land, water and community. We pay our respect to the Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
