The recent ABC 7.30 program highlighted the ongoing campaign to shut down the work of community groups like Lock the Gate.

This is the latest attack in government and industry's long running campaign to reduce the effectiveness of groups working to protect our land, water and communities from destructive mining.

They’re trying to strip our tax deductible status, silence our voices during elections and increase our red-tape.

We’re determined to keep on doing our work supporting landholders and communities but we need your support to carry on.

Please help us stand up to the bullies and continue our vital work!

Your donation allows us to:

1. Speak out in the media and confront the pro-coal and pro-gas agenda.

2. Undertake research and let the public know when these mining companies illegally breach their own pollution licences, contaminate rivers and pollute the air.

3. Assist farmers, community members and Traditional Owners on the front line of destructive coal and gas projects to stand up for their rights.
