This is a virtual event

Do you loathe nuclear weapons? Do you want Australia to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons? The campaign needs you!

This event will be a snappy 1-hour training session for anyone interested in engaging with their parliamentary representatives on the nuclear weapon ban treaty. You don't have to be an expert. As constituents, you have power!

We will cover:

  • Why this is the right time to talk to your MP/Senators
  • Practical advice
  • Key points to cover
  • Tips for talking to a parliamentarian from Robert Tickner, former Labor Minister and ICAN Ambassador
  • Example conversations with a supportive/ambivalent/hostile parliamentarian featuring veteran campaigners and ICAN Australia board members Dave Sweeney and Sue Wareham, both of whom you will find regularly stomping the halls of Parliament House.
  • Breakout practice session
  • Other ways to engage, besides meetings

We look forward to changing hearts and minds together!
