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.
