Grassroots Campaigns make a Difference – Power to the People

National, News & Politics, Society & Culture

Grassroots campaigns appear to have made a big difference to the outcome in many marginal seats in Election 2016.

We talk to Ruby Rose O’Halloran, a campaigner for GetUp about their tactics and success in marginal seats and to Alana Lazdins from the marriage equality team at Trades Hall about taking it to the streets, door knocking and getting the message out there, one person at a time.

Is this the way of future campaigning? Are these messages getting through better than mass advertising? Do you believe in Power to the People?
