Emily Kain Lead Organiser email: [email protected] phone: 0476 249 366

Emily Kain is the lead organiser of the Queensland Community Alliance.

Joining the organising team in April 2020, Emily brought a suite of digital organising skills that allowed the Alliance to shift online during covid lockdowns.

Since then, she's been organising in Townsville, successfully growing our power and membership in North Queensland.

Emily also leads our training program. Working with senior Alliance leaders, we teach the skills of relational broad based organising to leaders across the state. Investing in people by developing the skills necessary for effective public action ensures that we are always learning, always growing and that our organising is sustainable in the long term.

Originally from Campbelltown in South West Sydney, Emily is deeply driven to organise the working class to engage in public life. She has more than a decade of experience as an organiser and trainer through the climate movement and with the Alliance.
