  CJU & Kwinana Library are bringing together curious minds to read, watch, and listen to authors, poets, artists, and creatives to advance our understanding and actions for a better world.

  The first of these ONLINE sessions will be held on Monday, November 17 from 12:30pm - 1:30pm (AWST).
  
  This is the first of six sessions with the reading group spanning the course of a year. Each session will be facilitated by the Climate Justice Union and have a different theme to align with each of the Noongar Seasons. There is no expectation to attend every session, you are welcome to attend as many of the sessions as you wish.
  
  Unlike some book clubs and reading groups we will approach these gatherings similar to a meal with friends.

  There are starter's mains, and dessert to choose from. You can read/watch/listen to one resource, but you are welcome to consume them all, as well as make your own suggestions for content to include.

  Starter: a poem, song or visual to inspire and set the mood for an instant sense of the seasonal theme
  
  Main: more involved such as a book, feature film or chapter to indulge in over a few days and keep you full between conversations
  
  Dessert: shorter pieces such as a video, podcast of short read to consume in one sitting for the curious but time pressed
  
  Aims:

  • To build community cohesion and connection, 
    
    
  • To share and discuss literature and other mediums including art, music, film and podcasts broadly related to community connection and creating change. 
    
    
  • To hold an inclusive and accessible space for people to have meaningful conversations that foster good relationships and inspire us to create a better world. 
    
    
  • To listen and learn in open minded and respectful ways that challenge, comfort and feed us.

  After you RSVP, you will be sent an email which contains:

  1) Zoom link to join the online session
  2) List of suggested readings / viewings / listening for this session

  These sessions are suitable for adults and youth comfortable in adult environments.

• Constitution changes drop-in session 1

  • When
    19 Nov 2025

    18:00 - 19:00
  • Location

  The Committee are hosting two online sessions where members can drop-in with any queries related to the proposed constitution changes so these are discussed prior to the AGM.

  We are aiming to have at least two committee members present. It's an opportunity to get orientated to the changes, understand particular elements, or raise concerns. 

  Drop in session 1: 6pm, Wednesday 19 November
  
  Further background:

  Climate Justice Union was created just over 6 years ago and a lot has been learnt in those years. When CJU wrote the Constitution it was based on a government-provided proforma and we didn’t fully understand what it would take to create and sustain an organisation like CJU, with a culture of collective care based in deep relationships. 
  
  The Committee are proposing some changes to the original Constitution to be more explicit about how CJU works and how we want to meet our aims.

  These changes include incorporation of an “informed decision-making” process, clarification of roles and lengthening of committee terms. We have made our best effort to carefully consider each change to centre the needs of those most impacted by climate and social injustice. We feel the proposed changes will stand us in good stead for the coming years.

  It’s also likely the constitution will need to be reviewed periodically as part of an evolution to remain true and useful to our work. 

  A copy of the proposed changes will be emailed to you upon RSVP for a drop in session. It has also been emailed to all members.

  Members will be asked to vote at the upcoming AGM on the special resolution to amend the Constitution with the following wording:
  
  “Do you accept changes to the constitution as proposed in the document sent to members on 7 November 2025, subject to any changes agreed during consultation drop-in sessions?” 

  Members can appoint a proxy who is also a member of CJU to vote on their behalf by emailing secretary@climatejusticeunion.org

  If you have concerns and can’t get to one of these sessions, please contact a committee member before the AGM.
