Aktionsbündnis Weltoffenes Werder
(Action Alliance Tolerant Werder)

Who we are:

The Aktionsbündnis Weltoffenes Werder exists since 2017. We are an independent and non-partisan initiative. We have representatives of churches, schools, politics and individuals involved in our group.

What we want:

Our goal is that Werder becomes a tolerant city. We want all people to be able to live well and safely here. No person should be disadvantaged because of their origin, faith, appearance, way of life or sexual orientation. We encourage and support people to confront exclusion, hatred and violence. We are active against racism and right-wing extremism.

What we do:

• Every year we organise the Aktionswoche Weltoffenes Werder (Action Week Tolerant Werder), with many events promoting an open, diverse and anti-racist society.

• We offer information and training on the topics of racism, anti-Semitism, right-wing extremism and conspiracy ideologies.

• We organise public discussions, for example before political elections.

• We are active against racist and anti-human slogans in Werder. We organize protests when right-wing extremists appear in public.

• We are committed to the right to asylum. Refugees and people who have immigrated should be welcomed in Werder.

• We remember the crimes of the German Nazi dictatorship and oppose the trivialization and falsification of history.

• We bring together people and institutions who want to get involved in Werder and the surrounding area against racism and for an open society.
