Friends of the Earth Adelaide would like to announce a new campaign to inform residents in the electorate of Boothby (SA, marginal ALP) of the dangers of the Coalition’s nuclear energy policy.
We will soon begin posting leaflets in as many letterboxes in Boothby as our legs and our finances will reach. As much as we can afford, we will use Australia Post’s ‘unaddressed mail’ service, but that is not cheap. We are therefore calling for volunteers to help us deliver leaflets by hand.
The outcome of the forthcoming federal election will be critical for the direction of Australia’s climate and energy policy. It is vital that voters know what they are voting for and understand the consequences. Limited resources will probably restrict us to Boothby, but we are very pleased that people are campaigning in other electorates, including the neighbouring electorate of Sturt.
The electorate of Boothby extends from Millswood and Blackforest in the north, west to the coast at Glenelg, south to Marino, east across to Blackwood, Belair and Brownhill Creek, then north to Cross Road.
In order to reach the whole of Boothby (over 85,000 letterboxes), we will need donations and volunteers. If you are able to help with letterboxing, please send us an email at adelaide.office@foe.org.au You don’t have to live in Boothby and you can deliver as many or as few leaflets as you like — no pressure. Leaflets will come in bundles of 100.
If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to this campaign, please go to the following link

Thank you for your support and for all the work you do to achieve a nuclear free, sustainable future.
