0️⃣8️⃣ Germany's Election Results Special Edition + More News in English, Jobs, Housing Offers and This Week's Events in Berlin

Feb 24, 2025

Hello dear IWBies ✨

This edition of the newsletter is coming out a little later than usual because we wanted to take the time to gather the most important news and analyses about the election results. Instead of rushing, we wanted to make sure we brought you the best sources and the key information that actually matters for us as immigrants.

In this edition, you’ll find a breakdown of what this new government means, what the results tell us about the political landscape, and how different parties gained—or lost—power in this election. Some wins, some losses, and a lot to unpack. We hope this helps you navigate what’s ahead.

Bruna, Lindelwa and your IWB Team 💖

PS. But if you are feeling generous and would like to support all the work we had this year to keep IWB running, subscribe to our membership for only 1€!

To run IWB, there’s a group of 6 women, mostly women of color, taking care of different tasks to keep the whole IWB project running. As we continue to grow, our responsibilities grow as well, and we are basically doing this job that takes a lot of our energy, time and mental health for free.

”You give a little, you take a little”
Our ✨dream✨ is to keep supporting the community of women* in Berlin as much as we can, with events, helpful resources, support groups… and in return, we would get at least 1€ from each member that got something positive out of IWB. We host over 36k people right now… even if we got 20k every month, we could hire immigrant women, pay them fairly and find a small whole in the middle of the patriarchal, capitalist system that usually underpays women.
Let's be the change we want to see and not reproduce outdated and harmful systems 💖

To motivate people to support our work, we are giving back some cool perks!
