BRAND NEW BUNDESTAG

Brand New Bundestag (BNB) is an independent and non-partisan grassroots organization committed to forward-looking politics.
Our goal: parliaments that represent all parts of our society and progressive policies that, together with civil society, develop bold solutions to the most pressing issues of our time.

To achieve this, we support individuals - especially those who have been underrepresented in politics - on their path to elected office. In addition, we build bridges between civil society and politics to ensure that the voices of social movements are finally given greater weight in political decision-making. Together with hundreds of volunteers, we successfully supported 23 candidates in entering the Bundestag during the 2025 federal election, as well as 12 other progressive minds on their way into various state parliaments. But this is only the beginning!
