our story
'In the beginning I had to
do everything alone.' Gerard Philips
You get an idea for the city. A light comes on... then what? Then Simply Eindhoven might be the movement for you. A city that changes quickly,
must pay attention to its inhabitants and identity right now.
Make yourself heard and really change something. Together with us.
In these times, good coexistence must come first. Money and the economy help with this, but are at the service of society and certainly not number one. We envision a city that really belongs to everyone. Where you meet, do things together and share.
Why?
That's why Just Eindhoven now, because the need is great. Our society has too many losers. take it Hugo (our party leader); he has been helping homeless people for 15 years through the Without Roof Foundation, partly thanks to the support of ordinary Eindhoven residents. He hasn't seen a change in their situation for 15 years. He has had enough of mopping with the tap open. Hugo wants to arrange it sustainably and that is why he wants to go into politics.
After a cup of coffee with Mary-Ann (number 2 on our list) the worlds came together. Of 12 years of Mary-Ann's alderman experience and Hugo's life experience, Just Eindhoven came about.
We see ourselves more as a movement than a party. A bridge builder in the city and a mediator between the parties. When it comes to issues, people and their environment always come first. As a movement we want to address our networks; so we may talk with politicians from different parties, companies, social organizations, artists, teachers...
How?
1. Do you have an idea or an issue that you think should really be addressed, because it makes Eindhoven more beautiful or better? Let us know and we'll see how we can make it politically possible.
2. Even if you run into the wall of the church, we want to support.
Every action that Simply Eindhoven supports contributes to one or more sustainable development goals of the United Nations.

With whom?
Wanting something starts with yourself. Let us know your story and we will support the idea together with you. Simply Eindhoven is looking for the right people in its network to ensure that something really happens. We help you with our experience in politics, but also outside politics. We use citizens' councils as an aid through referenda or similar citizens' votes outside of politics.
Just Eindhoven consists of people who are fully engaged in daily life. They are already doing things for or with Eindhoven society. They are on the list of Just Eindhoven because they see that things can be done better, because they believe that a better society is for everyone. You don't have to have the same opinion about everything, but take the responsibility to arrange something together.
Just Eindhoven consists of Eindhoven residents
who go all out!
