CHARLENE FOR WEST TAMAR DAY OF ACTION! Double Doorknock & BBQ

Come join us as we chat with people in the West Tamar LGA about the upcoming Local Government election!

This October, we have a chance to elect Charlene McLennan to West Tamar Council - a candidate with a vision for a fairer, Greener, and more affordable future for the region.

Join us for a huge DOUBLE DOORKNOCK and lunch to meet your candidate and help her get a seat at the table in the October Local Government elections!

Doorknocking will begin at 11am. We will come back together for a barbecue around 12:30. A second round of doorknocking will then kick off around 1:30. We'll finish the day with a debrief. Join us for one round of doorknocking, or for the whole day, or just for lunch! Doorknocking is not required to join us for the barbecue.

_____________________________________________________________

Doorknocking is one of the most effective ways to connect with our community. Research shows that around 1 in 3 conversations can swing a vote. You don't need to be a policy expert. Being friendly, listening to people, and having genuine conversations is what matters most.

Never doorknocked before?

No worries! We'll start with a short training before we head out, and you'll be paired with an experienced volunteer. We won't throw you in the deep end, and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way.

Our experienced volunteers will go at your pace. If you're not ready to lead conversations, that's completely okay. Many people spend their first doorknock supporting their partner by recording responses and notes on the clipboard, watching how conversations work, and building their confidence. When you're ready, we'll support you to take that next step.

We'll meet together first, go through everything you need to know, and then head out in pairs. There will be opportunities to take breaks, grab some water, or check in if you need to. At the end of the afternoon, we'll come back together to debrief and celebrate the conversations we've had.

What to bring

• Comfortable walking shoes

• Weather-appropriate clothing (warm layers, raincoat or umbrella if needed, or a hat if it's sunny)

• A water bottle

• Any snacks, medication, or accessibility items that help you have a comfortable afternoon

If you have any accessibility requirements, questions, or would like to chat beforehand about whether the event will work for you, please get in touch. We'll do our best to make sure you can take part.
