What is the Wijkbond? #

The Neighborhood Association is an organization run by and for residents who support one another and stand together against injustice and inequality.

What does the Wijkbond aim to achieve? #

We can’t accomplish much on our own. As the Wijkbond, we want to organize, support one another, take action together, and show that we, as residents, have the power.

What does the Wijkbond do? #

We hold regular consultation hours—for now, mainly focused on housing, but in the future also on benefits, work and unemployment, immigration, healthcare, and other issues.

Why is the Wijkbond necessary? #

Residents often have little say. Decisions are made without the neighborhood
truly having a say. There are also increasing problems such as rising rents,
loss of affordable housing, and fewer social services. The Neighborhood Union
gives residents the opportunity to organize, take action together, and take
back power.

The goal is to build power from the bottom up. This means that residents
together decide what is important and how the neighborhood develops. The
Neighborhood Union wants to put residents first and demonstrate that change
starts in the neighborhood.

The Neighborhood Association is therefore a place of and for residents:
learning together, fighting together, and growing stronger together.
