Over the past years, Black Friday has grown into a day of immense consumerism and capitalism. This year, we’re doing things differently: instead of buying more, we’re investing in something valuable. That’s why today we’re spotlighting three local initiatives working towards a better future.
Vers Beton
An independent journalistic platform striving for an honest city. “We monitor power and expose power structures and structural societal problems through financially independent journalism.”
Glazen Huis Actie
A four-day manifestation of 24/7 radio to raise awareness for the injustice happening in Congo, Palestine and Sudan. You can donate now to support the production costs, but also during the event (19-22 December), when all money raised goes directly to emergency aid in these countries.
Voedselbank
An important foundation supporting people on low budgets in the city region and surrounding areas with food packages.
