In the past 12 months we've seen more hate than ever.
From politicians, media, community, and the workplace, trans peoples rights and quality of life are deteriorating. It's time to put a stop to it.
Trans rights are human rights are worker rights.
See you there.

Okay #PAXAus #migw
We know you like badges and stickers (and pamphlets?)
Look out for your favourite workers wearing these goodies, and ask for one yourself.
If you wanna have a conversation too, anyone who's wearing an "ASK ME ABOUT JOINING YOU UNION" badge, is ready to chat!

Tonight, three lucky members will be grabbing these hot off the artist's hands, little union friends.
Shout out to awesome union member Peter Cowen, for making these charming mascots.

Here's a question, we've been getting over the last few days:
Why should you join your union before you've even gotten a job in the industry?
#migw #gcap23
Let us know if you've got any more questions! And see you tomorrow night at Group Up!
1. Career Services: Learn negotiation skills, and access guidance for any stage of your career 2. Legal: Have your contract reviewed, and keep up to date on industrial law that effects you. 3. Networking: Build industry connections early, online and at union events. 4. Industry Insights: Get to know the company you might work for, before you get there. 5. Professional Dedication: Joining a union reflects your dedication to the games industry and its improvement.
