"This support means so much to us! The youth members of Tomorrow Movement are on the frontlines of the jobs, housing and climate crisis - that’s why we’re fighting so hard for a plan that matches the scale of the problem - a Climate Jobs Guarantee. The generous support of Groundswell members means we can continue building public and political support for Climate Jobs by organising in our communities, taking media-genic actions and recruiting political champions who can fight for us in Parliament." Cat Nadel, National Director

The Tomorrow Movement is a movement of young people, organising to end the influence of big business on politics to safeguard a tomorrow with good jobs, great public services and a safe climate for all. The Tomorrow Movement fights for solutions that match the scale of the climate, jobs and housing crisis. They are notably calling on the federal government to deliver a Climate Jobs Guarantee: a plan that would guarantee a good job transitioning away from fossil fuels and building a caring and sustainable society for everyone.

By organising young people to campaign at the intersection of climate and economic justice, through inspirational media-genic actions and organising deeply in our communities, we are able to put transformational climate policies - like the Climate Jobs Guarantee (CJG) - on the political agenda. By tying decarbonisation to tangible improvements in people’s lives we can build momentum for a vision that is practical, popular and resilient to the kinds of fossil fuel lobby attacks that have divided Australian politics and sabotaged federal climate policy for years.

With the passing of Labor’s climate bill, it is critical that we keep building momentum and driving up ambition for meaningful climate action that goes beyond targets. We need to make it clear to the media and the Labor Government that the “Climate Wars” aren’t over. Young people are uniquely positioned to drive this conversation because it’s our future that’s on the line. Our moral authority cuts through - because we are on the frontlines of the jobs, housing and climate crises - and we won’t stop fighting until we win a plan that matches the scale of the crisis - the Climate Jobs Guarantee.

We do this by leading inspiring actions to get the CJG in the media, building deep buy-in in our communities and recruiting political champions who can fight for it in Parliament.
