Join Rebecca Vassarotti at Dissent Café for an conversation with Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens, Steph Hodgins-May.

There’s something powerful about having big, radical conversations right in the heart of our community, especially when so many are desperately searching for real answers.

Through our Politics in Dissent series, we’ve brought together academics, activists, artists, and agitators for raw, critical discussions about how we rebuild a better world from the ground up.

Now, we’re thrilled to welcome Steph Hodgins-May for her very first Canberra event since becoming Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens.

From grassroots campaigner to Victorian Senator and Deputy Leader, Steph brings both fierce experience and serious fire to federal politics.

Following her bold national TV declaration alongside David Shoebridge on the Greens’ mission to replace the Labor Party, this event gets straight into the sharpest political questions facing our movement:

  • Can the Greens actually replace Labor?

  • What does this political moment demand of a genuinely progressive party?

  • How do we embed a fiercely socialist, ecological, and caring politics into mainstream parliament?

  • What is next for our party?

Dissent Café is an intimate space and capacity is strictly limited. Reserve your seat today to be part of this vital conversation.
