What I can do for you
- You can hire me for a conference or debate
- Consultancy on grassroots lobbying, petitioning and related topics
- Journalists can always interview me, for example about political actions from citizens online. E-mail reinder@rustema.nl, I usually respond the same day. Or call me if it is a last minute thing.
- I gladly give (guest) lectures for students if I can squeeze it in. Since you are probably not allowed to pay me, you can check my books wishlist at Bol.com or find a bottle of red.
