We're celebrating a win in the Solar our Learning campaign. Big thank you to the Electrical Trades Union NSW & ACT for taking on our policy idea & passing a Labor conference motion to commit to solar and batteries for public schools and day cares across NSW www.parentsforclimate.org/solarourlear...
@commsdeclare found Australia's 6 biggest coal & gas co’s are running 260+ programs across the places our kids grow up. From earliest years right through to adulthood. But there is no register, watchdog nor independent oversight. Sign for a senate enquiry www.parentsforclimate.org/not_for_sale

Over 25,000 parents & carers across Australia. 26 local groups. We've already helped win $71 million in school solar, taken a major energy retailer to court for greenwashing, & built community infrastructure in suburbs in every state. Make your tax deductible donation at back.parentsforclimate.org
Last year, we forced energy giant EnergyAustralia to accept our demands in a world-leading court case against greenwashing. Now, we’re looking at other energy companies who might still be greenwashing based on our research. Complete our survey at surveyaus.typeform.com/to/lUNr96T1

Families are stretched, & gas companies are earning billions from resources that belong to all of us, including our kids. A 25% gas export levy would mean more of that comes back for the things we actually need, like better schools & hospitals. Call your MP www.parentsforclimate.org/gas_export_tax

Wishing Sir David Attenborough a wonderful day as he celebrates a century of life on this amazing planet💚 What’s your favourite thing that he’s said?
Need a more family friendly way to take part. We’ve got you covered. Our kids pay more for HECS than gas companies pay for Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT). It’s not fair.
I don't usually make videos like this. But I keep thinking about my kids and what they'll inherit and I think more Australians need to be asking whether we're getting a fair return from our own gas. — Rob, Gold Coast Ring your MP. All info you need at www.parentsforclimate.org/gas_export_tax
I filmed this because I kept thinking about it & couldn't stop. Families are stretched, gas companies are earning billions from resources that belong to all of us, including our kids. A 25% gas export levy can help us Call your MP www.parentsforclimate.org/gas_export_tax - Saumya, Altona North (VIC)

Too many of us are struggling with energy, fuel, groceries, transport, essential bills and anxiety about the future. So we’ve put together some ideas for measures the government could support right now to lighten the load. What would you add?
Last week, we stood in Parl House with parents & kids from across Aust. We came for solar + batteries on schools & early education - & also called on the Albanese Govt to back a 25% tax on gas companies - shifting the burden off households & investing in our kids’ future. #ForOurKids #FairFastFar
Big conversations are happening today! 📢 Our kids have travelled from across the country to show decision-makers how we can push for a clean, safe & brighter future by putting solar & batteries on every school & childhood education centre in Aust! 🏫🎒📚 #solarourlearningevent #poweringkidsfutures
☀️⚡️🔋 25 Adults and 13 kids have travelled to Parliament House today calling for support for solar and batteries on schools and childcare centres across the country 🏫🚌 Cooler classrooms. Lower costs. A Better future for our kids. Let’s make it happen! #solarourlearningevent #poweringkidsfutures
We’ve joined with Doctors for the Environment Australia & Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action to call on the Federal Government to introduce a 25% tax on gas exports. Read why we’re doing this at www.parentsforclimate.org/unite_to_bac...
Our CEO Nic Seton was in Canberra today at the Freight Forward Summit, a cross-industry call for electrification & resilience. “Cleaning up trucks through zero emissions vehicles & smarter policy can protect our kids health while also giving industry more stable, predictable, energy costs.”
