Das Ereignis

A CLEAR STAND AGAINST AUSTERITY AND RACIST MILITARISATION YOU CAN'T SILENCE US, YOU CAN'T DIVIDE US AND YOU CAN'T CUT US!

• According to the Berlin Senate, there will soon be no more money for education, social affairs, culture, housing, public transport, women's & LGBTQIA+ refuges, climate protection and many other existential infrastructures in this city: At the expense of all other areas, in Berlin the police, armed reaction, exclusion and mass deportation get mass budget increases, in Germany the arms industry, oppressive judiciary and a foreigners-out brutal border regime, with arms stretching everywhere, will be funded instead
• > the state continuesly throws our money towards the ideological and material aid to genocide and occupation in Palestine - 100 billion euro in 'special funding' for the german military, arms for oppressive regimes (Egypt, Saudi Arabia) everywhere, external border regimes, increased NATO investments

> The police have been beating up protesters on the streets and students at their universities for months now! Migrants and PoC in particular are being arbitrarily hauled before the courts and subjected to the most racist criminalisation and imprisonment

- Spaces for multiply marginalised people and precarious workers, for queer, migrant and critical voices have already been closed down -- even girls' and women's centres have been slashed without further ado! In order to legitimise this, migration and any criticism of the genocidal German raison d'état is framed as the central security concern by the racist bourgeois parties and the media

→ Austerity politics and authoritarian state restructuring go hand in hand!

• Universities and school education suffer vicious cuts, and the hollows get filled with mass police violence, arrests on the school grounds, and legal action targeting students! This inevitably will lead to more crisis, more violence, and play into the hands of the fascists and demagogues. We will not accept this!
• Even before the major cuts, popular and well-run community offers such as Oyoun and Frieda e.V. had to close due to continuous, targeted repression; these will be useful precedents for future repression-based closures, soon to happen now, in all of Berlin.
• More and more racist migration policies, so-called „anti-semitism resolutions", that are actually targeting antiwar Jews and criminalising all democratic dissent, while scapegoating Arabs, Muslims and immigrants, the CDU now passing racist exclusion resolutions with the help of Bundestag fascists - and now across-the-board cuts in all spheres of the social state?
• The AfD thanks you generously!
• The huge antifascist mass protests against the AfD must join in a movement that pits itself with relentless force against the politics of senate and state - which promotes and defends fascism and racism, drawing on a well-documented underbelly of police Nazi telegram groups to reinforce their culture of violent excess; all the while criminalizing real antiracist, antigenocide and antiwar action -
