We are gearing up for key upcoming events, including non-violent direct action training with the Bob Brown Foundation on 1st November and the Rising Tide climate blockade in late November. Professor David Ness from the University of South Australia will also join our next online meeting on Monday 27th October to present on adopting a sufficiency mindset. Additionally, we are highlighting a free climate course offered by the University of Tasmania alongside the wetland restoration work of sheep farmer Will Eddington.

Submissions for the Independent Review of Tasmania's Climate Change Act close on 7 September, and we have published dedicated submission, survey, and ideas wall guides to help everyone have their say. We are also preparing for our upcoming Annual General Meeting on 29 September, which will feature a guest speaker session ahead of our regular monthly meeting. Additionally, we are highlighting upcoming regional opportunities such as youth climate activism training on 6-7 September and the UTAS Commute 4 Climate challenge starting in October.

We have partnered with Environment Tasmania to call on all state election candidates to sign a pledge taking action on climate and cost-of-living issues, with candidate Peter George being the first to sign. To help voters prepare, we are encouraging attendance at the Vote Earth Rally on Sunday 13th July and highlighting candidate climate scorecards. We also invite everyone to our next online general meeting on Monday 28th July and encourage participation in upcoming consultation workshops for the independent review of Tasmania's climate legislation.

We have published climate scorecards assessing all Tasmanian candidates' policies to help voters keep climate at the forefront of the upcoming election. Ahead of our online general meeting on Monday 28th April, we are holding a pre-meeting session at 7:00 pm to coordinate the physical distribution of these scorecards. We are also sharing resources linking climate inaction to cost-of-living pressures, alongside local Repair Cafés and Sustainable House Day on Sunday 4th May.

Our new billboard campaign across Tasmania urges voters to keep the climate in mind ahead of the upcoming federal election. We are also celebrating the integration of our community's feedback into the state's final Emissions Reduction and Resilience Plans, which we will discuss at our next online general meeting on Monday 24th February.
