This is the final week of the campaign
Today marks the final day of AVFM election campaigning
To every single person who’s given their time, energy, and care to this campaign – thank you.
From rallying in the sun to door-knocking in the cold, to workplace conversations, phone banking, and handing out flyers and how-to-votes – you’ve been the backbone of this campaign. You’ve shown up again and again.
At 10AM on Tuesday 8 July, the ballot count will commence.
Win, lose, or draw, this campaign has already achieved something powerful
Together, we’ve shown that a different kind of union is not only possible – it’s already taking shape: member-led, democratic, and ready to take on the fights that matter.
Our election policy platform was shaped by members, debated by members, and endorsed by members. This is the union we’re fighting for – one where members lead and leadership listens.
And this campaign isn’t just about the election – it’s about laying the foundation for lasting change. We are building a strong rank and file caucus that grows with every conversation, every workplace action, and every step we take together.
Thank you for being part of this movement. We’re proud to stand with you.
No matter the outcome, we’re celebrating: Friday 11 July
Join us to acknowledge the huge effort, the laughs, the late nights, and the community we’ve built.
- End-of-campaign party, 7PM Friday 11 July at Fargo and Co, Richmond.

See you there.
