Voting in Darebin

Good Newlands folk, 

Here is the Darebin Climate Action 's score card on the important local election:

Make your vote count in Darebin We figure that with 60 candidates running across nine wards you may need a little help sorting out which candidates have a strong commitment to acting on the climate emergency.  Check out DCAN's voting guide for each ward With your support, DCAN campaigned hard in the last council election to win the commitment of candidates to strong action on climate. The newly elected councillors honoured their commitments and moved a motion at the very first meeting to support the declaration of a climate emergency. Council then followed this up with the development of a detailed climate emergency plan.  Stunningly, 1,781 jurisdictions in 31 countries have followed Darebin's example and declared a climate emergency. This has helped raise the awareness of thousands of local communities and political leaders about the urgency of the problem.  Darebin Council has also led the way in forming a national coalition of local councils who are taking action in their own communities.  Check out DCAN's voting guide for each ward. Local Councils are the level of government most connected to the community. Let's make sure Darebin Council continues to be a leader on climate emergency action by choosing our candidates wisely.
