Australia : The next step to stop Abbott‏

Now that we've spoken out, politicians around Australia want to know more. What’s your experience of chaplains in school? Share your story now: Dear, Together, we have a chance to make sure the Australian government won't fund anti-gay groups through its chaplains program. But we've only got a little bit of time left to do it. All Out members took our message to politicians in Canberra last week. We delivered the petition that 182,468 of us have signed and even attended a dozen meetings with the three biggest parties. Every party had something different to say to us but there's one thing they all want – to hear about all of our experiences with schools and chaplains. As students, parents, gay or straight, all of us have experiences that we could share – and sharing them with politicians could change the chaplains program. We've got until Friday to collect all of our stories. Will you share your story now? https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/aus-chaplains Over 617 of us chipped in to keep fighting for safe and fair supportfor lesbian, gay, bi and trans kids in Australian schools. This means we'll be able to do things like blanket the Facebook feeds of politicians in ads about our petition and show what damage could be done by the proposed chaplains program. Our stories are another powerful tool we have to change the minds of those behind this program – together we could put them in the hands of every politician in Canberra.

Only 5% of Australians support Abbott's scheme to put only religious chaplains in schools, and exclude social workers. And these 5% are the only people who politicians have been hearing from – until now.
