Is it a system? Yes.
Is it a tool? Yes.
Is it available to all? Yes

None of that’s novel – so why should you sign up?

The Letition system is a movement. It embodies our united stand for the environment, amplifying our concerns in a chorus that cannot be ignored. A clarion call from the larger community.

Letitions are the modern Open Letter: A collective call to action with the urgency of a personal message. Each Letition serves as a direct line to our elected representatives in Canberra, each one reflecting the collective will of the voters right from their local communities, their constituencies - the people they ultimately answer to. 

Every month, they receive several Letitions delivering a unified message on different aspects of climate concerns, demanding attention and action.

Every Letition is counted, and the results are published. The aggregated voices are not only heard by you, the community, they echo through the halls of Parliament, reaching every MP and their staff. This transparency fosters accountability and personal responsibility among our leaders.

It was never going to be easy to win the battle with evermore fossil fuel developments, but we must keep building the momentum and pressure. Letitions are effective because they are local, specific to each politician and that politician’s voter base, but also wide-reaching – speaking to issues that impact across all constituencies. Every month, we must persist in sending one or two Letitions to their local Member and their Senators. We are one voice, powerful together.

The movement is gaining momentum. As more and more people consistently send Letitions every month, the movement, and its voice and impact will grow even more.

Just six minutes per month per Letition can lead to monumental change. Together, we will be empowered to demand further action for a safer climate. Empowered to ask our local Federal Member to take our voices to Canberra and cast their votes for the well-being of our planet to provide a safe environment for all.
