Date: Thursday 20 August 2026 Time: TBC Location: TBC — details to follow Join us for a panel discussion on the rapid expansion of data centres in our residential areas — and the case for a moratorium on new approvals until their cumulative health and environmental impacts have been independently assessed. Technology should serve our community, not come at its expense. The people who live next door deserve a genuine say before these decisions are made.

Date: Thursday 3 September 2026 Time: TBC Location: TBC — details to follow With special guest Cathy McGowan Keen to learn more about the community independent movement? Interested in volunteering with the Jess for Footscray campaign? Come along for an evening discussing people-powered politics with special guest Cathy McGowan, former federal member for Indi, and the original (“OG”) community independent. Cathy's successful grassroots campaigns sparked nationwide interest in the potential of community-based, independent politicians to chart a new course for Australian democracy, demonstrating that when politics relates to a community, the power of a community is unleashed. Her pioneering “community-first” political model serves as the blueprint for community-backed independent candidates across Australia.
