  1. The bare bones of the CTU election campaign PSA Youth conference May 2014

  2. We can change politics • There are more than enough registered voters who do not support the current policies of National and its support parties – they can change politics in September with their votes. • The gap between the National+ bloc and the Labour/Green+ bloc is very narrow already – even when you only count those most likely to vote in September • The story of the 294,000….

  3. The big difference this time • One non-partisan union movement campaign • Main focus is on mobilisation, rather than advocacy or persuasion • Election runs from 3-20 September • Voters can enrol and advance vote at about 10% of polling places until 19 September • - and can vote in all polling places on Election Day

  4. Volunteers All volunteers will be asked to collect and record Voter Pledges. Volunteers can also: • Help VOTERS make and record their Voting Plan • Organise around the Voting Plan (eg where the VOTER needs transport or where the plan is a collective plan at the workplace) • Follow up with VOTERS following their vote

  5. 1, 2, 3 ………. • Voters • 1. Make a Voter Pledge • 2. Make a Voting Plan • 3. Vote Campaign – staff, volunteers and system • 1. Identify potential progressive non-voters at work and in community and record their Voter Pledges on our database • 2. Record Voting Plans • 3. Follow up Voting Plans

  7. Where will we find our VOTERS? In the workplace At home and on-line • Volunteers’ and voters’ families and social media networks In target neighbourhoods – where there is a lower vote but where we know there is support for progressive policies and parties • Doorknocking • Phoning • Community events • Volunteers’ own community networks – like churches and sports clubs

  8. 100 (and a few more) days to win • In the first two weeks of June we will be running volunteer training – 90 minute sessions • On June 13 we will launch the online campaign • There are 100 days from June 13 to September 20 (inclusive) • In July we will undertake a large workplace activity to collect more volunteers • In August we start to talk to voters • By 3 September (and no later than 19 September), all voters will have a Voting Plan and we will follow up on their plans
