Ett fantastiskt sätt och uppskattat av SÅ MÅNGA (30 000 är endast skummet på ytan) - att ta sig mellan Stockholm och Berlin! Att i dagens klimatkris ens fundera på att lägga ner klimatsmarta lösningar som verkligen fungerar är galenskap!
30 000 personer har skrivit under för att rädda SJ:s nattåg mellan Stockholm och Tyskland.

Infrastrukturminister Andreas Carlson (KD) ville inte ta emot namninsamlingen.

Därför bestämde vi oss för att ta protesttåget till riksdagen.

Crises are everywhere. But without a gender lens, we risk getting the problem wrong—and the solution even more so.

From secret schools in Afghanistan to resistance in Guatemala. From sextortion to token seats at the table.

🎥 Women are fighting systems never built for them.
