Our contribution from the session of the Parliamentary Committee on the Economy, which discussed the proposed regulation of short-term rentals. We argue that housing should serve as a place to live, and we criticise the insufficient regulation of short-term letting, which undermines residents’ quality of life and contradicts the government's commitments to ensuring fair rents and oversight of the rental market.

The death toll from Israeli attacks on Gaza has surpassed 60,000. The atrocities continue daily, with no end to the catastrophe in sight. Together with 13 other organisations, we have launched a petition calling on the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to join South Africa’s case against Israel. Add your signature too.

In Slovenia, the lack of regulation for short-term rentals has led to a housing catastrophe. In Ljubljana, for example, there are almost three times as many apartments for short-term rentals as for long-term rentals. Airbnb and similar online platforms are driving locals out of the city as owners seek to maximise their profits and prefer not to rent to those who need a place to call home. With the "Airbnb, go home!" campaign, we are calling for strict regulation in this area from political decision-makers.

After a year of operation, we have revamped the New Day (Nov dan) platform and transformed it into a news aggregator that allows you to read all new posts from participating independent content creators in one place. The project involves Oštro, Boris Vezjak, Domen Savič and the Mešanec portal, and we plan to invite more authors. Bookmark Nov dan and expand your media consumption, and support the creators through our donation system.

Open books is an open-source application designed for NGOs who strive for greater financial transparency. Using an intuitive and user-friendly interface, NGOs can enter their data and upload files, which the tool then organises and presents in a clear and concise manner. The application generates graphs and tables, calculates ratios (such as highest vs. lowest salary, or the amount of state funds received versus the amount paid in taxes), and lists details about current projects. Public trust is a crucial currency for NGOs, so it is worth making an effort to ensure it. We’ve done the effort as we developed this free tool, and now it is up to the NGOs to make use of it.

As part of the European "Our Food Our Future" campaign," we have developed an interactive online game for Focus. In the game, the user has to put together a sustainable meal in a short space of time by choosing environmentally friendly ingredients and avoiding bad ones. We designed the concept and game mechanics in collaboration with the client, our regular external collaborator Stokto contributed illustrations, and we also programmed the game.
