Spaziergang durch Hannover - International gegen Rassismus und Faschismus

In the organizer's words:

This year, together with international partners, we are once again calling on people to protest against exclusion, stigmatization, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, antiziganism and all forms of racism on 22 March, the International Day of Action against Racism and Fascism.

Driven by the AfD, the so-called migration debate has overshadowed the necessary social debate about work, housing, health, education and all other issues and is driving social polarization. The CDU, FDP and BSW are fueling the racist discourse, while the SPD and Greens are not standing up to it, but are instead taking part in the competition to outdo each other with the most drastic demands for entry barriers, deportations "on a grand scale" and social disenfranchisement of people on the run.

This strengthens the AfD, which is already developing plans for overthrow and deportations. It is the parliamentary arm of right-wing and racist terror. With the AfD, for the first time in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany, there is a danger of a fascist mass party becoming permanently established. The party is extremely dangerous and is using the current multiple crises to mobilize.

Our goal is to isolate and stop the AfD in society. There must be no cooperation with the AfD! The fact that Friedrich Merz accepted to push his deportation law through the Bundestag with the help of the AfD is a breach of taboo. This makes it all the more important that hundreds of thousands have been demonstrating against the AfD and any form of cooperation with it since the first weeks of the year. There must be no stage for the racist, nationalist, anti-democratic policies of the AfD - not on the streets and squares, not in workplaces, schools, universities, talk shows and parliaments!

We stand up for a society based on solidarity that opposes attacks on the welfare state and people drowning in the Mediterranean or dying of thirst in the Sahara. We demand safe escape routes, respect for the fundamental right to asylum and the removal of barriers to work and training for refugees and migrants.

Extreme right-wing parties currently pose a serious threat worldwide - for people affected by racism, queer people and all of us. In Germany, too, more and more terrorist structures are becoming visible - again and again with links to state institutions such as the police and military. Broad and determined protest is crucial in order to push back fascism.

Our alternative is solidarity without borders!
