In order to prove feasibility and demonstrate the massive potential of this project, we wrote a book about it - with the help of multiple experts and volunteers. Raising €17,000 would allow us to finally get the book printed and start sending copies of it to key politicians and other influencers in Berlin.
Until now we have done almost all work on a pro-bono basis, but this is not sustainable. If we were to raise €30,000 we could, in addition to sending the book to key politicians, finally dedicate more time to push Radbahn forward over the next three months. We would focus on:
- finding more partners to our pro-Radbahn alliance. This would for sure improve the position of the project in the Berlin agenda
- convincing the politicians to take concrete steps towards making political decision to build Radbahn
If we reach our goal of €40,000 we will also organise Radbahn Street Party in fall 2017 - under the U1 viaduct, of course. This is in addition to everything described above. Parties are of course always nice, but this party has importance beyond just having good time: it makes the project more visible and tangible for everyone and gives people an opportunity to witness first-hand the positive impact Radbahn could have in the city. The party will be open for everyone, but drinks and thank-you-hugs will be free for everyone who donates to our crowdfunding campaign.
