9th of November Campaign – UNITED AGAINST FEAR – 2019

🔴9th of November - UNITED AGAINST FEARLate in 1938, Nazis across Germany attacked Jewish people and their homes, businesses and places of worship and arrested about 30,000 Jewish men. The attacks became known as Kristallnacht – the “Night of Broken Glass” , but the events of Nov. 9-10, went beyond the broken glass of Jewish-owned shops on the streets of German cities and has rightly been called a major turning point in the history of the Holocaust.When commemorating this day though, even in its 85th anniversary, we must remember and we must be able to see that it was the culmination of a long-term process, which constantly fuelled and normalised hate through propaganda and manipulation. It didn’t happen in a void.Since 1992 we remember the victims of the ‘Kristallnacht’ pogrom and fascism throughout history while raising awareness about the dangers of nationalism, populism, antisemitism, right-wing extremism, and neo-fascism today.Populism is not just on the rise; it's gaining momentum and strength worldwide. When choosing our actions we can't help but looking at the scenario and teh spaces we live in. For this reason we can't help but dedicate this year's 9th of November Campaign to contrast the threat of populism. Join us and help spread contents and initiatives that promote solidarity, human rights and democratic values, to face the menace of populism. Because the rise of populism is not just a political challenge—it is a threat to the very fabric of democratic societies. As populist leaders use fear, division, and misinformation to gain power, the core values of democracy —human rights, tolerance, and pluralism—are at risk. It is imperative that citizens, policymakers, and civil society work together to defend democracy against this dangerous tide.That's why we stand 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿, empowering everyone, especially young people, to act and uphold human rights and democratic values.
