What a month in politics! 

Thanks to all of you who have messaged subscribed and shown your support for Think Forward. We’ve been quietly working away in the background setting things up, while all trying to not get fired from our jobs! 

From now on you’ll be hearing from us every few weeks updating you on the latest on the movement, any relevant recent news on the topic and information on how you can get involved.

We are really excited to give you an exclusive first look at our mini-podcast series on intergenerational fairness with economist Danielle Woods from the Grattan Institute.

Listen, rate, share and give us your ideas on what we should ask our next guests.  

Most importantly Think Forward are on Facebook- join, add your friends and share! We want to use this page to grow our subscribers and promote discussion on intergenerational fairness.

Many of you have said you want to get involved, and we NEED you!

We are looking for two new members to join us!

You will be the perfect fit if you:

• are passionate about putting intergenerational fairness on the political agenda
• have about 1-2 hours a week to contribute
• are happy to join in on 45 minute fortnightly meetings 
  • have a particular set of skills, that may be useful for us (we're not particular about your particular skills though!) 

If you don’t fit the above category you can also stay connected to us by checking the ‘How you can help’ section over the next few months as we create more opportunities for you all to get involved.

Check out Think Forward's first op-ed published in The Age and SMH, and tell us what you think at hello@thinkfoward.org.au

WHAT THINK FORWARD HAS BEEN UP TO

WHAT WE'VE GOT PLANNED 

• We're getting the next two podcasts ready for release

• We want to find a way to create a video like this which simply explains what intergenerational fairness is (kinda like the video below!)

• We are talking to other youth organisations to see how we can partner (if you know other youth run organisations we should talk to – let us know)

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Do you have the skills to help us?

We need a...

• Animator or video maker to make a  video explaining intergenerational fairness  
• Podcast editing/producing to help edit the remaining podcasts
• Social media manager, meme producer general banter generator to grow our social media presence

Don’t have skills?  

You can help in other ways by…

• Liking our facebook page!
• Following us on twitter
• Sharing with your friends (and grandparents of course)

You guys know better than us how you can contribute best.

So if you have ideas about things Think Forward can do (and want to help/take a lead on it) hit us up!

In the next newsletter, we'll send you our next podcast and report back on how we are going against our strategy to put integenerational fairness on the agenda.
