Now, more than ever, young people are taking action to champion the issues that matter to them.

Local and Vocal is an online campaign designed to help connect young constituents across the country with others in their electorate and have a virtual meeting with your Member of Parliament. 

Local and Vocal aimed to help participants organise and plan a virtual meeting with your Federal MP, connect with other young people in your electorate who also want to meet with their MP, and to other young people from across Australia also participating in the campaign; and develop a plan about what you’ll say and get out of the meeting.

The campaign is for young people aged 16-29 and was delivered online during July 2020.

Why Local and Vocal?

The big decisions politicians and the Federal Government are making right now will impact the way young people live, learn, and work. Decisions like what support to provide renters, or when to cut back JobKeeper or how to support students returning to school will all impact young people.

Local and Vocal Supported young people to:

1. Connect and set up a meeting with your local Federal Member of Parliament (MP)

2. Meet other young people in your electorate who want to meet with your MP

3. Decide what you want to say and how you want to say it to have a meaningful conversation with your MP

4. Get all your technical needs sorted to have an engaging and private conversation over Zoom

5. Develop a snapshot of the economic and social impact on young people in your electorate to help strengthen your case

6. Talk about what worked, what didn’t and plan what happens after your meeting
