None of us would be able to be here, doing what we do, if it wasn’t for the planet that we all share. One of the organisations doing great work to make sure that we can all live in harmony with the planet for generations to come is Lock the Gate Alliance.
Formed in 2010, Lock the Gate Alliance is a grassroots organisation comprised of over 450 local groups and 120,000 supporters, concerned about the impact of coal mining, coal seam gas (CSG), and fracking. They are on a mission to ‘protect Australia’s natural, cultural and agricultural resources from inappropriate mining and to educate and empower all Australians to demand sustainable solutions to food and energy production.’
Coordinating community resistance to environmental vandalism across multiple fronts countrywide, the Lock the Gate Alliance is exactly the kind of cause we love to throw our support behind. We stand in solidarity with the community groups leading from the front.
This quarter, we have proudly donated $2,022.74 to Lock the Gate Alliance and you can show your support by signing their current petition to Environment Minister Sussan Ley MP, urging her to reject the Vickery coal mine extension here.
