Who is the Climate 200 organisation? Are they affiliated with Voices for Casey?

Answer

Climate 200 is a community crowd-funded organisation that aims to support independent candidates. It was established in Australia in the lead-up to the 2019 federal election in response to growing public concern about climate change and the need for more ambitious environmental policies.

Voices for Casey and community independents do not receive or take instructions from Climate 200. Climate 200 is not a party. It does not start campaigns, select candidates, speak for candidates, dictate policies, or have members. They provide funding, resources, and strategic support to independent candidates chosen by community groups who prioritise climate action, integrity in politics, gender equality, and social justice.

Voices for Casey received a $15,000 grant via Climate 200's Community Accelerator Fund to be spent on events and activities that build our community of volunteers and raise the profile of Voices for Casey. This Fund was launched in April 2024, seeking donations to fund the work of groups like Voices for Casey.
