WE’LL COME UNITED – HAMBURG 2024
01. – 03. November 2024
FC ST. PAULI BALLSAAL

We Represent the Culture of Resistance!

Fighting against the rise of the AfD! Opposing the normalization of far-right positions in a diverse society! Against the deportation fantasies openly expressed by Chancellor Scholz and the federal government! For an end to the demonization of migration and the criminalization of people seeking refuge!

Our goal is to unite all our struggles into one common fight: Against the division of social and political struggles! We remain united! Against racism and fascism!

We want to spread this message — through social media, in neighborhoods, across Germany, and beyond its borders! We may have known each other for years or just met, may know much or little about one another, but there is so much we can learn from each other! Let’s come together anew, or reconnect, reflect on our work, and take a look toward the future!

We aim to achieve this by bringing together activists and those affected by racist policies and police violence, networking, and collectively working on new ideas, solutions, and active resistance. Individuals looking to become more politically engaged are also invited to join this network. We call on everyone: Show courage! Show boldness! We are many! We are angry — but also full of hope and energy! Full of love and solidarity! Organized by all of us, for all of us!

Our event venue at Millerntor Stadium, St. Pauli, is accessible with limited barriers.
