Join the Campaign!
Speak up now – Fighting fascism is not radical, it’s necessary!
Since the early 1990s, UNITED has coordinated and inspired annual pan-European antifascist activities to mark
9 November, the International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism. We aim to commemorate the victims of the “Kristallnacht” pogrom of 1938 and, more broadly, victims of the Holocaust and of fascism throughout history. Further, we want to raise awareness about the dangers of nationalism, racism, antisemitism and neo-fascism today. We mobilise different groups and individuals to build a UNITED front against hate ideologies and violence.
Take Action!
Hundreds of organisations and informal groups of all kinds have taken an active part in the campaigns. It is time for you, too! The campaign is pluralist and open: there is a place and a space for all. Organize activities around 9 November! It doesn’t need to be a huge national event – it can also be a small local gathering. If you need some inspiration for your activity, you can always check the list of
Best Practices or have a look at our
how-to organise an activity page. Events such as public discussions, meetings with eye-witnesses, demonstrations, commemoration activities, poster and media actions or cultural events can be organised quite easily, and can have a huge impact in spreading awareness about the 9
th of November. We also recommend having a look at the
Human Library and how to use
Holocaust education in antiracism work.If you organise an event, we highly appreciate it if you
inform us. We will spread your event via our Social Media channels and invite other grassroots organisations in our network in your region to your event!
