8M 2021 Demo ROUTE

By Alliance of Internationalist Feminists* - March 05, 2021

++ 8. March 2021 DEMO ROUTE ++

Our route leads through Berlin-Mitte.

the start - the representation of the European Commission in Germany - except that people at the EU's external border are exposed to death by freezing and drowning for the sake of EU policy calculations. This policy knows no shame when it comes to destroying the world and people's lives through imperialist, colonialist, neoliberalist and extractivist agendas as well as femicide, embargo, border and deportation policies, and supporting dictators and occupations with arms trade and war. Symbols of all these agendas can be found in close proximity in Berlin-Mitte.

One stop of the demo will be in front of the Pergamon Museum - a symbol of German and European robbery of the history of the peoples of Mesopotamia. With the removal of the blue Ishtar gate, not only the history on site was destroyed, but also the genocide of thousands of Armenians and Kurds was actively supported by the German side.

Much is already known about the Humboldt Forum. Humboldt as the name giver stands for a very similar colonial and genocide policy and is nevertheless celebrated and honored as a hero. Another building with this name makes our struggle against colonialism, fascism, capitalism, patriarchy and white supremacy all the more important.

As on November 25, we will not leave the Foreign Office unvisited. The German Foreign Ministry is closely allied with fascists like Bolsonaro, Erdogan and others.

These male friendships show up in our last stop Unter den Linden - the Förderkreis Deutsches Heer e.V (Support group German Army)... A "forum" to strengthen the German arms lobby with almost 200 German and international arms companies as members, among them of course Heckler & Koch, Rheinmetall but also Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, which German companies are happy to provide with the latest technology and equipment.

Let's take these places for ourselves together and show our resistance against patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, fascism, imperialism and white supremacy. We stand together hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder. Because the struggle of every sister* is the struggle of all sister*.
