"Eines Morgens trat ich in einen Kreuzberger Zeitungskiosk und die Zeitungen waren weg. Nur noch Bier.
"Wo sind denn die Zeitungen?“, fragte ich.

Advocacy supports people of all ages, backgrounds and identities to be included. #AdvocacyWorks #SelfAdvocacyWorks #AdvocacyAwarenessWeek Photo of two young women, sitting, facing each other.

Led by Donkeys started in 2018 in a pub and a heated discussion about Dave Cameron’s infamous tweets. They asked, what if he deletes them? Can we archive them somehow, perhaps in the form of billboard advertisements? The next morning, they found a printer in Belfast - the rest is history.
