Building the power of young people to win campaigns for an economically fair future.
Raise Newstart and Youth Allowance to an amount young people can live on.
We’re calling for:
1. An emergency increase to Newstart and Youth Allowance by $75 a week
2. Plus $25 a week in rent assistance
3. An annual increase anchored to the Henderson Poverty Line
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
It’s time for a young revolution.
Every young person no matter where they’ve come from deserves the best shot at studying what they love, earning a living wage and afford to live in a comfy home.
CHIP IN TO MAKE ECONOMIC JUSTICE A REALITY FOR ALL YOUNG AUSTRALIANS
Be part of Australia’s first youth-led organisation run by young people for young people to take back an economically fair future.
WHAT’S UP
The “economy” is not inherently good. The economy (the allocation of money, power and resources) should work for us, we don’t work for the economy. But for too long our leaders have ignored, politicised, and ridiculed young Australians. We’re watching the destruction of our natural world, face diminishing chances of finding decent work and housing, while the spaces we go to have fun are increasingly policed. Every day they set a path towards a future for us not by us. We reckon It’s time to fight back for a future grounded in our values of fairness and justice.
