Hi, I’m Nic.

Today, Adriana Buccianti and I delivered her huge petition for pill-testing to the NSW parliament and made headlines across print and television.

Your support of Adriana’s campaign has been vital in it getting this far, so I wanted to take you behind the scenes to share how we got here.

Working with Adriana the small team of staff at Change.org Australia has:

• Developed political strategies to pressure the right people in parliament,
• Put Adriana’s campaign in the media time and time again so she can share her story to make change,
• Helped to grow her petition to more than 100k signatures with your support,
• Supported Adriana to encourage her petition signers, like you, to take extra actions like emailing the NSW premier and fundraising for her trip to parliament.

Not many people know though that all this work relies on Sustainers - ordinary people like you making small, regular contributions. So we want to take a moment to especially thank Change.org Sustainers, who people-fund this platform and our campaigns team in Australia so that we can support more people who start petitions just like Adriana.

Join almost 6,000 Change.org users in Australia and become a Sustainer today.

It’s inspiring to see your collective work come to fruition today - but the campaign isn’t done yet. It’s Adriana’s dream to make pill testing a reality across Australia. Like you, we’re going to be with her every step of the way.

Thanks for sticking with us,

Nic, on behalf of the Change.org Australia Team

PS. Being people-funded makes signing a Change.org petition possible, but also keeps us independent from advertising, corporate or government interests. Chip in as from as little as 16c day (or $5 a month).
