Als Geert Wilders kiest om 1 miljoen mensen uit te sluiten, mag dat nooit normaal worden. Daarom staan wij op. Samen bouwen we aan echte oplossingen en samen gaan we vooruit.

When we compress all flagship events into just a few months, we put pressure on the very people who make these events special. This is happening in 2026, let's see if we can do better in 2027!

Vrouwen moeten zich overal veilig voelen. Toch is dat niet de realiteit. Bijna iedere week wordt er in Nederland een vrouw vermoord. We mogen dit niet accepteren als de realiteit. We moeten in actie komen, met de politiek voorop. De plannen liggen er. Tijd voor beleid dat levens redt.
