The federal election is weeks away. Right now, we have a critical opportunity to speak up and make sure all of our political leaders know that we won't settle for anything less than a government with a plan for real climate action.

That's why we're hosting Youth on the Mic: an online, inter-organisational, youth-led forum, inviting political candidates to listen to young people about the issues impacting us the most.

We're taking the microphone back to tell our stories and elevate the experiences of those on the frontlines of the climate crisis. It's our chance to speak directly to our leaders, and ramp up the pressure for the huge climate commitments we need.

Join us on Tuesday, 15 April, from 6:30PM VIC/NSW/ACT/TAS/QLD | 6PM SA/NT | 4:30PM WA!

On the night, you'll hear from young people across the continent sharing their experiences and talking about the solutions they want to see. 

Youth on the Mic is a collab between AYCC, Seed, Democracy in Colour, Green Music Australia, Tomorrow Movement, Amnesty Australia, and the Foundation for Young Australians. 

We'll also have in attendance:

  • Fatima Payman, Senator for WA and leader of Australia's Voice
  • Mehreen Faruqi, Senator for NSW and Deputy leader of the Australian Greens
  • And a few more to be announced 👀

Youth on the Mic will have an AUSLAN interpreter, on-screen captioning, accessibility support staff, and follow all of AYCC's accessibility norms. Please contact Violet via the email below if you have further queries or requests.
