GetUp! key founders
GetUp! was founded by Jeremy Heimans and David Madden, two young Australian graduates of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government who have worked at the vanguard of the new online organising and campaigning techniques in the US.
In 2004, David and Jeremy helped start a national campaign on the decline in America's standing in the world under George Bush. This campaign gathered thousands of online supporters and millions of dollars in donations to support a national television advertising campaign. Prior to this, Jeremy and David worked on issues of global poverty, conflict, and development.
GetUp! also has a board that advises the staff. The board includes community organiser Amanda Tattersall, who helped develop the concept for GetUp!, union leader Bill Shorten, Green activist Cate Faehrmann, and technology entrepreneur Evan Thornley.[1]
