“People who want to campaign against the right in Eastern Germany need a place where they can meet and feel safe and where they can get practical support. We are creating this place and we need your donation to do so.”
Who are we?
Our team has been working for a good life for everyone in Lusatia for years.
We have blocked Nazi marches, turned market squares into democratic meeting places, reappraised the local history of National Socialism and baseball bats, organized ourselves with refugees, built cultural venues, founded initiatives and networked regionally and nationally.
But we also know from our own experience what it can mean personally to get all these wonderful things off the ground: You are threatened and attacked by right-wingers. We have learned that there is only one thing that can help: we have to join forces, share knowledge about right-wing structures and support each other.
We want to make all of this experience available to democratic civil society and do our bit for a good life in Lusatia.
We are creating the "Projektraum" for this purpose:
A place where all the groups that are committed to democratic change can meet.
A place for exchange and constructive debate.
A place where civil society can form, network and strengthen itself.
A place where new projects for a diverse Lusatia can be created.
Why now?
We are in the middle of a decisive election year. Will the shift to the right continue or will we manage to make democratic civil society heard and turn the tide before it is too late?
The current protests, especially in southern Brandenburg and Lusatia, are a great success and give us a lot of courage. We are convinced that this can lead to a sustainable awakening for solidarity and democratic coexistence.
For this to happen, we need structures that support civil society and consistently stand by those affected by right-wing violence. Structures that will also endure if the shift to the right continues.
With your donation and our perseverance, we are building these structures.
