Thick board
I think podcasts are a good format for bringing politics closer to citizens, informing them about the issues I am working on and what everyday life is like in the European Parliament, why do parliamentary processes work the way they do and not the other way around, and why do they often work in a different way than you would imagine?

40,000 people are waiting in #Afghanistan for rescue from Germany. The German government is letting them down, says @ErikMarquardt from the Kabul #Luftbrücke. In the Dissens Podcast he talks to @ondreka about what needs to happen now: https://fal.cn/3ikvd
Book swap with @sudelheft. 🙃
We are also looking for people who know database management, CRM, web design. And people who edit lists (a lot of work).
We also need people who can oversee a network of different organizations involved in evacuation.
