The five sections

  1. What's moving

    Two or three local news items, read with one question in mind: who decides this, who pays for it, and what would the other way be?

  2. What's bugging us

    The problem of the week, concrete, with an address and who's responsible.

  3. What's working

    A solution that's under way or has been set in motion.

  4. What you can do

    One small step or one date: sign, go there, join in, call.

  5. From the sheet

    One anonymous sentence from the last Hoffnungstreffen.

Independent

Local businesses support the newsletter as partners. Sponsorship doesn't change the reporting, and every ad is clearly marked “Ad/Partner”.

Not a campaign sheet: no voting recommendations, no party politics. Local means local.
