Join Victorian Socialists volunteers on Saturday September 17 to help us take our message of putting people before profits to thousands of residents in Tarneit.
New Volunteers are most welcome and encouraged to come at 12pm for training.
This is an all-in Victorian Socialists West campaign event, so we encourage volunteers and supporters from across the Western Metro Region to join us.
How the day will run:
*12.00pm – Training for new volunteers
*12:30pm - Collect your materials, and meet your door knocking buddies
*12.45pm –Briefing from candidates
*1.00pm – We’ll head out in pairs to knock on doors in the local area, with more experienced doorknockers paired up with newer volunteers
*4:15 – Everyone’s invited back to the pub (location tbc) for an informal debrief over food and drinks
We'll be promoting our fabulous candidates for the area. Claudio Uribe, Victorian Socialists’ candidate for Tarneit. Claudio is a socialist activist, a warehouse worker and a union member. He comes from a family of Chilean refugees, growing up in public housing in the inner west, and has lived in Hoppers Crossing for 20 years.
Liz Walsh is our lead candidate for Western Metropolitan Region, and she has a real shot at winning a seat in the Victorian Parliament.
Liz lives in Maidstone with her family, including a newborn daughter, and is passionate about advocating for people in the west, who deserve better than what the current government and their friends in big business have to offer.
Liz has been a committed socialist for the last 25 years. Her activism started early, with high school walkouts against Pauline Hanson. Since then, she’s taken a central role in campaigns for refugee rights and against racist policing.
Liz also has a long track record of standing up for workers’ rights. She has stood alongside striking warehouse workers fighting for decent wages and job security, and with essential workers demanding better conditions during the pandemic.
Most recently, Liz led a pro-abortion demonstration of 15,000 people in Melbourne, calling for abortion rights in Victoria to be protected and extended in the wake of the US Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade. With hard right culture warriors like Liberal candidate Moira Deeming and her predecessor and mentor Bernie Finn (now in the Democratic Labor Party) running in the western suburbs on an anti-abortion platform, we need an activist voice like Liz’s in parliament to defend women’s rights.
Be part of this historic campaign to get Liz, a radical and a socialist who will stand up to the powerful, elected to parliament.
New volunteers are welcome! This is an all-in Victorian Socialists campaign event, so we encourage volunteers and supporters from across the Western Metro Region to join us.
