Your Election Impact

The election results are still up in the air, but as they said on ABC news recently: "one clear winner this election has been GetUp." Congratulations. Check out this video showing what you achieved:

Just as important as the victories we've won is how we've done it. Together we've pioneered a new form of political action: one based not on the powerful few, but on the shared power of many.

The secret to our success this election? In the months before polling day, over 1,300 GetUp members committed to weekly or monthly contributions. The average donation was $7 a week, but together they made for a fighting fund which allowed us to react quickly and make the most of some amazing opportunities. It was a huge success. Because of those donations, GetUp members were able to:
successfully launch a High Court constitutional challenge that put an extra 98,138 voters on the roll;
build Australia's first online enrolment website to allow Australians to enrol online in just minutes rather than using fax or delivering enrolment forms by hand;
win a Federal Court challenge to ensure Australians will be able to enrol online in elections to come;
produce a hilarious 'action-hero' election video encouraging Australians to enrol that was seen by well over 1 million people online;
support over 7,000 GetUp volunteers distributing issue scorecards, and outnumbering the major parties on many polling booths in marginal electorates; and
air over 700 ad spots across the country.
Will you join them and keep our fighting fund going?

While the election result is still up in the air, one thing is for sure: our work is not done yet.

The next few months hold incredible opportunity for our movement to push for political reform, to make sure the next parliament commits to a price on pollution, funds better mental health services, and gives refugees a fair go.

Can you help us keep up the incredible momentum GetUp members have created by chipping in to our ongoing fighting fund?

By chipping in you're investing in your own ability, and the capacity of over 370,000 fellow GetUp members, to create a better and fairer Australia. On its own our spare change doesn't amount to much. With thousands of other GetUp donors, however, our small change can create lasting political change. Just a few dollars a week can make a huge impact. Can you be part of it?

Thanks for being part of this,
the GetUp team
