The ABC Campaign goes local!

On 7 May, the campaign to protect our ABC went local - with GetUp members gathering outside the offices of their MPs in a huge display of community support for our public broadcasters.

In 61 electorates across the country, you and 2,000 other passionate GetUp members came out in force to deliver the 240,00 signature-strong ABC petition to your federal MP.

And we did it in style! Here's just a few of the photos from the day:

Thank your MP for accepting our petition to Protect the ABC

If you were at a petition delivery, it's a great idea to use this tool to thank your MP for receiving our ABC petition.

Even if your MP wasn't there, or didn't welcome the petition with open arms, it's important to thank their office for accepting it, so that we can prove we're in it for the long-haul and are serious about holding our decision makers to account.

Thank you

I was writing to say a quick thank you for receiving our 240,000 signature-strong petition to protect our ABC. This is an issue that is very important to me so knowing that you are taking note is encouraging. As one of your constituents, I hope you will take action to protect our public broadcasters. Thousands of others stand by my side.

The ABC campaign

This campaign has been huge, with petition deliveries, snap rallies, photo stunts, petitions, billboards and even bumper stickers. It's pretty clear to me that Australians love their ABC and want it protected this Budget night - we hope you agree!
