From the website:

Local council elections present a significant opportunity for our solidarity movement. Electing pro-Palestinian councillors will give our movement the power to pass resolutions condemning Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine, ensure council prioritises human rights, and opposes human rights abuses and war crimes. Councils have the power to update their procurement and investment policies to align with ethical standards, including divesting from companies that support or profit from Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. By taking these actions, councils can drive change and bolster support for the solidarity movement at both state and federal levels.
