In our new podcast episode our movement worker Christopher Laumanns reports on what's next for the climate justice movement after the protests in Lützerath.
We have a new movement worker. Ibrahim Izzeldeen is committed to social justice and democracy, in Germany and in his country of origin Sudan. More info about his work.

How we invest our money
Foundation assets as political leverage
Bewegungsstiftung supports social change not only with its funding, but also with its assets. To this end, it invests its foundation capital of around 8 million euros according to strict ethical-sustainable criteria - for example in housing projects, agricultural cooperatives and wind energy plants.
