#GetUp
I just signed the petition "Stop Trump Tower on the Gold Coast!" and you could add your name too.
You can read more about this #GetUp campaign and sign the petition here:

My boyfriend said I should also post the fail video's. And I actually agree. It is so tempting to only post the best attempt and the most polish version of everything. But I want to show the ups and downs here. We all have downs and fails, it makes us human. It is how you handle it that matters. Get up and keep going, push through when you need to but also give yourself grace and know that not everyday can be your best day.

@SeaFury fwiw, i gave up. though i only ever physically attended one public event, for about 14 years i was an active online campaign-petitioner & monthly donor to numerous environmental & social charities & activism groups. one was #Getup!, for which i was active 2010 - 2019. here's part of a note i wrote to myself...
14/9/13: Having been depressed & angry since last w/e's Federal Election in which Australians demonstrated their rank stupidity, short-sightedness, & contemptible selfishness by electing the loathsome Mad Monk & Evil HenchPeeps, I've been contemplating the nature & viability of my ongoing GetUp donations. They were originally $x/wk, then became $1.5x/wk in leadup to that Election in hope of keeping the Evils out ... but that failed. My recent thoughts had been basically that if the electorate really is this stupid, what's the point of my ongoing donations? Today i decided that i shall continue, BUT, i've downgraded my donations $ & frequency.
notice above i listed 2019 as when i gave up on GetUp [& all my other groups]? specifically, it was the May 2019 fed election, for which GU had run an aggressive campaign to persuade the respective electorates to dump six mega-RWNJ fuckheads, chief being potato in dickson. like many i ramped up my donations long before, & my petitioning. history shows it was an abject failure.
over the following months, i reflected on my years [to that point] of ineffective activism, all the failures... adani, mining tax, gambling tax, carbon price, native forests, climate change, RWNJ fuckheads, et al. if my 2013 angst was high [& it was!], then by May 2019 it went thru the roof, whilst any semblance of surviving hope of being able to effect positive change entirely evaporated... & it has never returned... actually no, it flickered back to a faint glow for #TheVoice, which then eventually proving yet again how ghastly most of straya is, just went away for good.
that potted activism history, + my own personal history, are at the heart of my severe #misanthropy. so many subsequent strayan & global events have only reinforced the despair.

@SeaFury I'm concluding that protests don't work any more, but people keep on doing them because that's the paradigm we have.
The tiny bit that I do is supporting GetUp (https://getup.org). Makes me feel a little less helpless.
People power. Petitions, publicity, talking to MPs, handing out issue-focused how-to-vote cards at elections. They seem to be pretty good at applying what resources they have in cost-effective ways. For example, buying advertising on billboards in relevant electorates (and near Parliament House, depending on the issue). Personally delivering the petitions. Making clever YouTube videos.
Main issues they're focusing on right now are (a) climate change, (b) anti-corruption and (c) corporate getting-away-with-everything.

I'm now supporting #GetUp on a monthly basis because the #RWNJs are starting to take over.

Silencing dissent and undermining freedoms is not how we fight racism — and this dangerous plan must be scrapped.
