Fair Agenda

It won’t come as a surprise to you that with a national epidemic of domestic violence and a record high gender pay gap there's no end to the work we could be doing. The bad news is, right now our movement doesn’t have the resources it needs to even defend against all the attacks on our existing rights, far less to secure the changes we need to advance toward equality.

But here's the good news. We know that together our community can achieve remarkable things. Less than two years ago, Fair Agenda was just a dream -- then 240 people chipped in help make it a reality. Since then, our growing movement has stepped up to influence political, business and media leaders – all with just the support of one team member and a handful of dedicated volunteers.

But there’s still much, much more to be done. To win the change we need, we'll need to keep growing our size and strength, and building on the momentum we've created so far. Right now our ability to do that is limited -- we're still $4,000 short of the funding we need to amp up campaigns that will be make-or-break in the next two months. 

Can you chip in to make these immediate next steps possible? 

Your donation will allow Fair Agenda to step up the fight for funding of domestic violence services, to build more pressure on key Senate cross benchers to block the attack on paid parental leave, and to keep building on the momentum we've created together in the past year...



Since we ran our first campaign, our community has grown to more than 32,000; we've taken action together in 32 campaigns; and we've taken our message to key decision-makers across politics, business and the media. 



On federal budget night, we helped put the federal government’s under-funding of family violence services front and centre in the budget coverage. The release of our ‘What it will take’ report on The Project helped prompt four days of national news coverage, and helped win an additional $4 million of funding for the national hotline 1800RESPECT.



But we didn't stop there – securing coverage on Sky News, ABC Radio, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Women’s Agenda; funding adverts to get our powerful video about the importance of family violence services in front of thousands of voters in key electorates; and working with Homelessness Australia to reveal the $68 million funding shortfall that is leaving thousands of women fleeing domestic violence without access to refuge.

If the past six months have made anything clear, it’s that to defend our rights and secure advances for women in this country we’re going to have to keep growing our movement, speaking up and holding decision makers accountable. 

But we'll need your support to make that possible. So if you can, please consider chipping in to fund our next steps.
