What is the Greens’ role in a world increasingly defined by crisis? How can we turn despair into action while billionaires and corporations capture our democracy and the media?
The planet is warming, genocide against Palestine continues and the gap between the wealthy few and everyone else has never been more stark.
But across the world a movement for change is building — and the future will be Green, or not at all.
Join us at this year’s annual Reboot Conference: Ideas in Action. We’ll host a diverse and inspiring range of panellists with case studies about how the Greens are already making a difference, and encourage you to join in thought-provoking discussions about what comes next.
Are we up for the challenge? Are you?
Reboot will be held over two days on the weekend of 6-7 July 2024. You can attend in-person at Glebe Town Hall or online via Zoom.
