Winter-CSD 2025

In the organizer's words:

Setting crosses instead of borders: Berlin is taking part in the nationwide CSD campaign "Wähl Liebe" (Vote for Love) for the 2025 federal elections. Under the motto "Wähl Liebe" (Vote for Love), over 25 demonstrations, rallies and events will take place throughout Germany on February 15, 2025, during a nationwide day of action by the German CSD movement. We are calling on all Berliners to join us on this day at 11:55 a.m. - "5 to 12" - to demonstrate for the rights of our community and the defense of liberal democracy at a winter CSD!

The Berlin CSD e. V. is supporting the "Wähl Liebe" campaign of the nationwide CSD movement in the run-up to the Bundestag elections. We want to raise awareness among (non-)voters for the rights of the queer community and encourage them to vote for democratic parties that stand for diversity, tolerance and equality in the elections on February 23, 2025.

Together with many other large and small CSDs in Germany, we are calling on the future federal government to finally include queer people in the Basic Law, to provide financial security for queer projects and counseling structures and to better protect the community from hate crime and hate speech! The Berlin CSD will also campaign for this in Berlin as part of a nationwide day of action on February 15, 2025. At 11:55 a.m. - i.e. "5 to 12" - we want to campaign loudly and confidently for the interests of our community in the future federal government at a winter CSD under the motto "Vote for love - while you still can" and call for a vote.

We will start at the Bundestag, from there we will march across Potsdamer Platz and Lützowplatz to the Nollendorf neighborhood. We call on all Berliners to pack warm clothes, thermos flasks, colorful signs and a good mood on February 15, 2025 and join us at the Winter CSD to demonstrate for a free, fair and colorful future in Berlin, Germany and the whole world!

We will also be communicating all information about the campaign and our actions via our social media channels on Instagram (@waehl_liebe and @csd.berlin.pride) and on the nationwide campaign website www.waehl-liebe.de. Here, for example, interested parties can find out how the parties position themselves on queer issues
