The main part of our Berlin project “Jede Stimme 2011″ (every vote 2011) has been successfully completed.

More than 2300 people without German passport have participated in the symbolic elections for the regional parliament and we have been able to trigger a broad discussion in public and an intense coverage in media concerning voting rights for foreigners:

3sat Kulturzeit (german)

Cicero Online (german)

ARD Fakt (german)

Tagesspiegel (german)

Hürriyet (türkisch)

Swissinfo (german)

Zingarate (italian)

Deutsche Welle (englisch)

The Local (englisch)

Bündnis 90/ DIE GRÜNEN (german)

Türkischer Bund in Berlin-Brandenburg (german)

Migazin (german)

Besides the symbolic elections many events have been taken place focusing issues of migration, integration and political participation. To follow the results and documentation of the project, visit: Jede Stimme 2011

To keep the pace, we will lobby for political change using the upcoming elections and the building of the regional government in Berlin as window of opportunities. Stay up to date and sign up for our newsletter!
