Advocacy and campaigns
Take action with us to dismantle the power structures that sustain poverty. Together we can build a more equal future.
Take Action With UsWe believe that the only way to truly end poverty is to challenge the systems that keep power and money concentrated to a small few. That’s why we’re tackling unfair tax systems, climate policy that favours polluters and corporations denying their workers a living wage. We target poverty at its root to end it for good.
Our work activates and mobilises people to dismantle the power structures that sustain poverty, creating a fairer world for all.
Together with our local partners, the communities we work with and our global movement of supporters, we advocate for fair systems and policies. We call out inequality when we see it, amplify the voices of the many and demand decision makers pay attention.
Take action with us
Speak up for Gaza
Add your name to our letter to Prime Minister Albanese and demand that Australia takes decisive action now to stop violence and breaches of international law.
Make Big Polluters Pay
Call on the Australian Government to make big coal, oil and gas corporations pay their fair share to support communities impacted by climate change.
What she makes is keeping her in poverty
Despite long hours away from their families, working full time plus many hours of overtime, big Australian clothing brands do not pay garment workers enough money to cover the basics of life. Demand big brands pay the women who make our clothes a living wage.
Make Tax Fair
Today, more big corporations and billionaires than ever are raking in super profits, while hundreds of millions of people globally go hungry and everyday Australians are struggling with rising costs. It’s time to ensure big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share of tax.
Email the Treasurer to Tax the Super Rich
Join us in calling on the Treasurer to introduce a wealth tax on the richest 1% and progressive tax reforms that ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share. It’s time to build a fairer Australia where wealth works for everyone—not just the richest few.
What She Makes
Stand with the women who make our clothes. Add your name to demand big brands pay a living wage.
Call on the government to increase investment in Australian Aid
Threats to our world are intensifying – dangerous weather, increased wars and soaring inequality. All of which are leaving millions of people homeless, hungry and unable to recover. Join us on demanding that Australia’s leaders increase our aid budget today.
Demand Best&Less and Myer keep their workers safe
It’s been 11 years since the Rana Plaza factory collapsed, killing 1,134 workers. Demand Best&Less and Myer put safety over profit and sign the Accord today.
Stand with Sudanese refugees living through an unseen crisis
Every day, humanitarian crises deny people their right to safety. And right now, millions of people in Sudan are fleeing their homes due to an ongoing war that many of us have not even heard of.
Act now for a Safer World For All
Join us in calling on the government to increase investment in Australian Aid, support a fairer global economy and contribute to a safer climate future.
Ceasefire Now
We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire and increase humanitarian assistance in Gaza. Now is the time to act in the name of humanity, and to refuse to be divided. Will you make your voice heard?
Activist resources
Those who benefit from inequality aren’t going to give it up easily. But modern activism has shown us that our collective action can create a more equal world. When we join our voices and act as one, real change isn’t just possible — it’s inevitable.
Our advocacy campaigns inspire and empower people to stand up and make a difference, taking clear steps to remove the inequalities that keep people in poverty.
