    Get Political: Communities Taking Action

    Saturday 3 June 2023 9am–5pm

    Join us for the third CIP Convention when the leaders and teams of community campaigns will share their wisdom and experience - generously paying it forward to help grow the movement.

    2023 is the year to build our communities. It is also a pivotal nation building year with the Voice Referendum. Be inspired by communities taking political action. Get practical tips and case studies. Share, learn, connect, support each other, this is the glue of the Community Independents movement. 

    Convention highlights:
    • Cathy McGowan AO in conversation with the Community Independent MPs: Kate Chaney MP, Zoe Daniel MP, Helen Haines MP, Monique Ryan MP, Sophie Scamps MP, Allegra Spender MP, Zali Steggall OAM MP and Kylea Tink MP 
    • Dean Parkin, Campaign Director Yes23 in conversation with Professor Kate Auty
    • Craig Foster AM, former Socceroo, broadcaster, human rights advocate, 2023 NSW Australian of the Year, Chair Australian Republic Movement in conversation with Dr Sophie Scamps MP
    • Emily Holm, Mary Crooks AO, Nicolette Boele and Kath Naish in discussion with Tina Jackson on community building to support the Voice
    • Kate Gunn, Jacqui Scruby and Suzie Pearce in discussion with Alana Johnson on how communities are taking political action from PEP11 to the Liverpool Plains and North-East Rail Alliance
    • Concurrent Conversations including the evolution of ‘Voices of’ groups, NextGen and keeping the independent flame alive in electorates where Community Independents weren’t elected at the last election
    • Community Connect Cafe - make contacts, meet potential mentors, share and network.
