It’s time to Raise Our Voices

The federal election has been called for Saturday, May 3. That means we have just a few weeks to Raise Our Voices and demand a better future for our creative and media industries. 

If we are going to have our voices heard, we need to get organised!  

Say you’re in, by signing up to the campaign now!
