Voice of the unemployed
Break the silence about jobs! Raise your voice ahead of the 2026 election.
In Sweden, there is mass unemployment. But in the debate, we who are affected are invisible. This creates prejudice and leads to a policy where we job seekers are punished, even though the problems are systematic and beyond our control. With your help, we can correct the distorted image of the unemployed. Together, we can influence politics - today and on election day, September 9, 2026.

Riktiga röster i statistiken
Vår kampanj Riktiga röster föddes ur ett enkelt men viktigt behov av att ge ett ansikte och en röst till alla som blivit en siffra i statistiken. Alltför ofta reduceras långtidsarbetslöshet till siffror i en rapport eller till slitna antaganden om lathet och ovilja att jobba. Vi vill vända på det.
