Waiting weeks or months for a KVR / Ausländerbehörde appointment puts jobs, travel and family life on hold. A residence permit that can't be renewed in time creates stress for employees, employers and families alike.

• More online appointment slots and a transparent waiting list instead of “refresh and hope”
• Digital submission of documents and status tracking for residence permits
• Automatic Fiktionsbescheinigung when the delay is caused by the authority
• Service in English and other major languages at the counter and by phone

Hundreds of migrant cultural associations keep traditions alive, organise festivals and help newcomers settle in – mostly through unpaid volunteers. Yet many don't know which funding exists or find the application process too complex.

• Transparent, published criteria for how city funding is distributed
• Simpler application forms and workshops to help Vereins apply
• Affordable access to city rooms and halls for cultural events
• Fair share for new and smaller communities, not only long-established ones

Children who grow up with several languages have a real advantage – if their home language is valued. At the same time, finding any Kita place in Munich is hard, especially for families new to the system.

• More bilingual and multilingual Kita / Kindergarten places in Munich
• Recruitment and faster recognition of qualified international educators
• Kita-Finder and registration information in several languages
• Support for German learning for children with a migration background

Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world and thousands of Munich residents play it – but there are very few pitches and almost no youth training. Sport is one of the best ways to bring communities together.

• Cricket sections in Munich's Sportvereine and school sports programmes
• Access to suitable city sports grounds and practice nets
• Youth and women's training, so children grow up with the sport here
• Inter-cultural tournaments that connect migrants with Munich locals

Migrants contribute to Munich every day as employees, founders, taxpayers and neighbours. Our needs should be heard before decisions are made – not afterwards.

• Regular open consultation hours where you can bring your issues to us
• Better information on housing, recognition of foreign qualifications and integration courses
• Clear action against discrimination in housing and the job market
• Transparent reporting: we will share what we achieve in the council
