About me

Climate Change http://alexwhite.org/tag/climate-change/
I am deeply committed to climate change action, and was a director of Greenpeace Australia-Pacific from 2013-16, and was a committee of management member of The Wilderness Society (Victoria) from 2012-14. Complimenting my climate work is my Masters in Public Policy and Management from the University of Melbourne, which focused on climate change policy and economics.

Social Justice
Social justice and workers’ rights are enormously important to me, and my professional life is spent working with the trade union movement to support working people and their unions. I believe that unions are one of the most powerful forces for good in our society and globally.

Throughout my career I have worked with various trade unions in Australia, and I have provided campaign and communication consulting services to several of Australia’s largest unions, as well as unions in the USA, Canada and New Zealand.

Writing http://alexwhite.org/shop/
In addition to being a published author, I also write a regular column for The Guardian UK’s environment pages, called Southern Crossroads, focusing on climate change politics, campaigns and policy. I have written for the ABC’s The Drum, the Centre for Policy Development, New Matilda and Media 140 amongst other publications.

Campaign Strategy
I am a campaigns, marketing and policy professional with strong experience across the union and non-profit sectors. For over a decade, I have used innovative marketing communications techniques in the union and non-profit sector, effectively melding online campaign techniques with traditional grassroots approaches. I have delivered successful marketing and fundraising campaigns and in 2012 worked with the Obama for America campaign in Massachusetts. My experience is complemented by leadership roles in community and political organisations (with a focus on climate change policy action).
