Offener Antifa Abend – 5. Jahrestag des rassistischen Anschlags in Hanau

Alte VHS Bonn, Mittwoch, 19. Februar um 20:00 MEZ

🕗 Geänderte Uhrzeit: 20 Uhr

Der Offene Antifa Abend im Februar steht ganz im Gedenken an die Opfer des rechtsradikalen Anschlags in Hanau vor mittlerweile fünf Jahren. Damals ermordete ein polizeibekannter Rechtsradikaler neun Menschen aus rassistischen Motiven.

Gemeinsam möchten wir mit euch eine Fotoaktion machen und eine Dokumentation mit Fokus auf die Opfer und Hinterbliebenen schauen. Im Anschluss dazu gibt es Raum, um sich auszutauschen.

Für Snacks und Getränke für eine Spende ist wie immer gesorgt. 

In Gedenken an:

Fatih Saraçoğlu

Ferhat Unvar

Gökhan Gültekin

Hamza Kenan Kurtović

Kaloyan Velkov

Mercedes Kierpacz

Said Nesar Hashemi

Sedat Gürbüz

Vili Viorel Păun

Say Their Names. Kein Vergeben. Kein Vergessen.

Informiert euch über den Anschlag, seine Folgen und ausgebliebenen Konsequenzen bei der "Initiative 19. Februar Hanau":

MoveOn.orgCongress works for us, not MuskCongress works for us, not Elon Musk! But only some of them are objecting to Musk's hostile takeover of our government. When members of congress are back at home Feb 15-23, we have a chance to express how much we want them to get Musk's hands out of our wallets and to stop his power grab. Find an event near you or host your own! A core principle shared by supporting organizations is a commitment to nonviolent, peaceful actions.
