Heute ist der Tag der humanitären Hilfe. Unsere Schirmfrau, Bundestagspraesidentin @baerbelbas, dankt allen Helfer*innen, die weltweit aktiv sind und sich teilweise unter schwierigen Bedingungen für Menschen in Not einsetzen. Auch allen engagierten Menschen in unseren Kommunen gilt ihre Anerkennung. Sie kümmern sich vor Ort um die Aufnahme und Versorgung von Geflüchteten. Ohne diesen starken Einsatz wären viele nötige Hilfsangebote nicht möglich. Danke! 💙

Millions in Britain take it for granted that someone else will kill their dinner on their behalf. That’s how they’re able to eat dead animals while still seeing themselves as animal lovers.
