Staying on the ground not only costs motorists nerves, but also money for activists. “We need money!” beg the climate stickers on Twitter on Thursday.
“Despite thousands of small donations every month, our treasury is empty,” the climate defenders explain. In April alone, the group spent 171,500 euros. Using an image, she shows exactly what the group is for.
Almost two-thirds of the costs are caused by renting lecture halls and accommodation. The other costs include material costs, food costs and travel costs. “In order to harness the strength that has accumulated in recent weeks and be able to pay banners, travel costs and rent, lectures and training by September, we still need a rough estimate of 840,000 euros,” the campaigners calculate.
Climate glue for the end?
German media had already reported on Wednesday that the alliance had imposed a personnel freeze due to a lack of funds. The payment was made through the association “Change Alliance – General Association for Socio-Ecological Change eV”. The ‘change alliance’ hired people and paid them a salary. Full-time activists could thus earn up to 1,300 euros.
Most recently, the “Last Generation” was looking for a prison coordinator, among other things. He or she should network with chaplains and psychologists in prisons. In addition, specialists in the IT field, call center employees and employees for training were sought. Part time and home office were possible. The recruitment is now over for the time being, according to an internal chat. However, already hired climate gluers must continue to receive a salary.
Are the climate stickers now at an end? It doesn’t look like that. The reason for the financial bottleneck is quite positive for the movement. “The resistance is growing faster and faster. And for more resistance, more money is also needed. (nad)
