​The #everydayclimatecrisis Visual Petition 
Throughout the National Congress initiative we have featured photos from this project of Hilary Wardhaugh, Founder of Women Photographers Australia.
Watch the short video below from ABC TV News earlier this year to find out more about this inspiring project for women and nonbinary people. 
By the end of May, Hilary had received 1200 photos in response to this call and she delivered the petition to the new Parliament on 9 June. 
On 14 July, a copy was handed over to the National Library for their archive.
In August,  it will be on display at CLIMART (https://climarte.org/) in Melbourne.
