Take action

Five lawful, constructive actions you can take this week, then the longer-term programme for building civic capacity in your community.

This week: five concrete actions

  1. Learn the law that applies to you

    Before anything else: understand your actual legal obligations around voting in your state. The campaign advocates for reform, but knowing what the law requires is the honest starting point.

  2. Learn the name of one neighbour you don't know

    Introduce yourself. Exchange numbers. This is not a small thing; it is the foundational unit of the ground-up model. You cannot build street-level civic capacity with people you haven't met.

  3. Read one primary source on a claim that concerns you

    Don't accept a summary of what a document says; read the document. If you can't access it, that's worth knowing too. Evidence literacy starts with checking the primary source.

  4. Identify one local issue and its formal pathway

    Find one issue that affects your community, such as a planning decision, a council service or a local hazard, and identify the formal mechanism for raising it. Councils, ombudsmen and complaint schemes exist and are often unused.

  5. Sign the pledge

    Make a public statement of support for ground-up civic principles, the evidence-before-tribe charter, and the campaign for voluntary voting. This is political expression, not a legal contract.

    The pledge is not open yet.

Longer term: build civic capacity

  • Start a local group

    A simple guide to starting an informal neighbourhood or community group, with governance suggestions, communication templates and first-meeting facilitation notes.

    Starter kit coming

  • Attend or host an event

    Find events near you, or register to host a community discussion. All events use evidence-based materials and follow the peaceful-change commitment.

    Events listing coming

  • Submit evidence

    Have a document, source or piece of evidence relevant to a claim in the evidence library? Submit it through a secure intake process for editorial review.

    Intake form coming

  • Volunteer with the campaign

    Help build the evidence library, translate materials, organise community events, or support the website and communications team.

  • Build local mutual aid

    Start small: a group chat with your street, a shared tool library, a regular check-in with an elderly neighbour.

  • Use formal accountability pathways

    Before declaring that formal complaint mechanisms are useless, use them. Document what happens. The evidence library is interested in documented records of formal process outcomes.

    Law and civic change

What this campaign does not ask you to do

  • Evade, avoid or refuse compliance with voting, taxation or other statutory obligations through pseudo-legal formulas.
  • Threaten, intimidate or coerce anyone in connection with their electoral participation or choices.
  • Publish, share or repeat allegations against named individuals without independently checking the primary source.
  • Treat any declaration of “non-consent” or private notice as having legal effect.

Support the campaign

Three independent actions are planned: a supporter pledge, campaign updates, and a way to submit evidence or a correction. Each will be separate, optional and clearly labelled, with no pre-ticked boxes and no bundled consents. None of them will be a donation, a legal withdrawal of consent, a claim to cancel any statutory obligation, or membership of any legal or sovereign body.

These forms are not open yet. The campaign does not currently accept donations.
