Youth on the mic

The federal election is right around the corner. From the gas led recovery response to Covid, to the devastating floods we’re seeing right now - our future is at stake. Right now, we have a critical opportunity to make sure our political leaders know we won’t stand for them putting their fossil fuel mates before our communities, country and climate. 

That's why we're co-hosting Youth on the Mic: an online, youth-led forum where political candidates listen to our stories and our vision for a fair future.

WHEN:

Wednesday 13 April - 6:30PM (AEST)  |  6PM (ACST)  |  4:30PM (AWST)

WHERE:

Online - RSVP to receive the link closer to the day

On the night, you'll hear from four young people across the continent, including a young First Nations person from Seed Mob. You'll hear their experiences, issues impacting their lives, and what solutions they want to see. Youth on the Mic is a collab between us, AYCC, Democracy in Colour, the National Union of Students, School Strike 4 Climate, Tomorrow Movement and the Australian Youth Affairs Council.

We'll also have in attendance:

Amanda Rishworth (Labor Shadow Minister for Youth) and Jordon Steele-John (Greens Senator and Youth portfolio holder)

And a few more to be announced 👀
