Even the FAZ is now covering Christina Lopez and Laura Bottin from the "Anti Hustle Club."[cite: 15, 16] They’re using social media to challenge toxic work culture, taking 100 days while on unemployment benefits to test whether their community workshops can turn into a viable venture[cite: 15, 16].
It’s a bold and crucial initiative, but it highlights a massive structural gap: Christina and Laura are burning through personal savings and unemployment checks with zero institutional support[cite: 15, 16].
At uno.team, we believe these are precisely the kinds of projects that deserve a real safety net. We want to invite Christina and Laura to connect with us, with platform builder Diana Osterhage, and with the broader Economy for the Common Good network. Launching a Startnext crowdfunding campaign could be a solid next step to secure funding. We can't wait for legacy institutions to back alternative ways of living—we have to build the grassroots infrastructure ourselves.
