It's been an activistic month! #supportgoodcauses

February ended up being an interesting activistic month. We decided to support a few initiatives with their online presence. 

1. Artikel 1
I met Sylvana Simons at an event in January. I don't care too much about politics but I think the rights she's fighting for are extremely important and awareness and demystification around the topics of the new Dutch political party Artikel 1 are crucial for achieving their goal. Tag The Love can really help them get their message across and therefore I decided to sponsor them with our platform technlogy and some strategical advice and support. Check out the website at: www.artikel1.org

2. Tevredenlander
A very cute initiative to empower the Dutch to talk about the good things in life instead of complaining. Something which is done a lot towards the upcoming elections on March 15th. We sponsored a Tag The Love wall to aggregate all social posts with #tevredenlanders. Join and use the webcam to share something you are really happy about at http://www.tevredenlander.nl.

3. Bring them here

'We, as European Citizens, offer ourselves and our vehicles to relocate the refugees from Greece ourselves. Will you sign up and join us on March 6 in Brussel. The European leaders gather that week and we will be there with our cars, motorcycles, vans or even bicycles to show that we want this relocation done now! They did a #refugeepromise. Now, let us Bring Them Here.'

I followed the proceedings of the The Hague version of this group and reached out to Tinkebell to advice her a little bit on the communications part. That escalated very quickly in becoming involved and supporting them with technology and content.

 

Let’s Bring Them Here is a grassroots action, started by Dutch citizens, and supported by:

--- some coverage of the demonstration ---

Besides the demostration today in Brussels, the group also sued the Dutch Government for not keeping their promise regarding the re-location. #promised
