Many freelancers are facing a substantial decrease and cancellations of jobs with (so far) not many clear opportunities for state aid.
Solution
Xing - the biggest professional social network in Germany - now started the #wirhelfenfreelancern campaign (we help freelancers). They plan to offer a coupon based system similar to the examples for local retailers and restaurants. Basically comapnies can buy a coupon from a freelancer for work due only in a few weeks or months time.
