Alliance for democracy and diversity, against hate and racism solutions
The specialist office against right-wing extremism and racism in the district of Groß-Gerau, together with the campaign alliance against right-wing extremism of the city of Groß-Gerau, invited to a circular alliance meeting at the end of January. 35 members of alliance, initiatives and organizations took part in the event in the district office. There were also three committed people who are not organized in alliances to work in the network for democracy and diversity.
At the beginning it was pointed out to the goal of the alliance work: non -partisan for strengthening and defending democracy, for the protection of human rights and the inviolability of the human dignity of all people: "We reject any form of extremism, racism and discrimination." Last year, new initiatives and merger formed, the meeting on January 31 was about getting to know each other, exchange and networking. Another focus of the evening was to plan actions before the Bundestag election.
At the alliance meeting, discussion about how to achieve those people and talk to them who have become dissatisfied with current politics and skeptically towards democracy. Social imbalance in Germany is a fact and poses major problems for many people and organizations. And yet it is important to make people clear that the degradation of people propagated in right -wing extremities to scapegoats or the deportation of migrants or the closure of the limits are not a solution to social problems in the country. On the contrary, Germany is dependent on immigration, the participants agreed.
There was also the following point: Since right -wing extremists and racist narrative can be heard and read in political debates and in the media every day, right -wing extremist ideologies are becoming increasingly “normal”. This fueled racism. In social media in particular, keywords are used that cause emotions in humans and thereby become more receptive to right -wing extremist thinking patterns.
The representatives of the "Initiative Man" in the Groß-Gerau district pointed out that young people in particular find out more in social media rooms and are active there. In order to achieve them with alliance information, those present agreed to bundle existing resources and use the account of the "Initiative Mensch" in the Groß-Gerau district to use topics before the Bundestag election. The posts created are then divided by everyone and distributed on different social media platforms.
In small groups, the participants of the meeting ultimately exchanged themselves about upcoming actions and topics such as social media and education. The department informed about the possibility of applying for funding. She will also coordinate the networking. A district -wide meeting is already planned for June 5, 2025 in order to continue to actively work for democracy, human rights and diversity.
