Workshop: Climate Change, racism & white privileges
📅 13th of July 2020 ⌚ 19:00 📌 Online 💬 German/ English
Climate change affects us all - but especially those who haven´t been contibuting to it are affected most. The world's poorest countries are responsible for less than 1% of emissions, but will be most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
For climate justice movements like Extinction Rebellion, climate change is therefore not only an environmental problem but also a question of social justice.
But what does this mean for our actions?
What exactly do we demand when we call for climate justice?
How do we want to achieve this?
And why are social inequality, racism and class discrimination inextricably linked to climate change?
We want to find answers to these and other questions with you at our workshop about climate justice. Against racism and inhuman attitudes.

Sea Rescue in the Mediterranean Sea
📅 14. Juli 2020 ⌚ 19:00 Uhr 📌 online 💬 deutsch
Friedhold Ulonska from Rottenburg has participated in ten rescue missions in the central Mediterranean since 2016. He was captain or first officer on ships of Sea-Eye, Mission Lifeline, Resqship and Sea-Watch. He was thus directly involved in the rescue of more than 3,000 shipwrecked refugees.
His lecture will give an overview of the development of civil sea rescue, the everyday life on board and the typical course of a rescue mission. Special attention will be paid to the increasingly imaginative manoeuvres of EU governments to prevent and criminalise civil sea rescue - also by German politicians. But also the strong counter-movement of civil society, e.g. through the "safe havens" of the "Seebrücke" campaign will be focused.

Workshop: LSBTTIQA* - What is that actually?
📅 15th of July 2020 ⌚ 19:00 📌 Online via Zoom 💬 deutsch
LSBTTIQA* - What is that actually?
Workshop on the topic "Diversity of gender and sexual orientation" According to the motto "Solidarity now!" the FclR in cooperation with Young and Queer Ulm e.V. invites to an exciting workshop on the topic "Diversity of gender and sexual orientation".
As people from the LGBTTIQA* community are exposed to many forms of discrimination in both the private and public sphere on a daily basis, the workshop aims to create a broader understanding of sexual and gender diversity. It will also be shown to what extent forms of life outside heteronormative conceptions are still socially sanctioned today. LGBTTIQA* - what is that actually?
The three speakers Julia Heinrich, Julia Gann and Sandra Nickel from the association Young and Queer Ulm will address these and other questions in their workshop.
In the first part of the workshop the participants will be interactively sensitized for sexual, amorous and gender diversity dimensions. The different levels of gender will be conveyed as well as basic concepts within the different dimensions of diversity will be explained and differentiated from each other.
With this background knowledge the participants will work on the influence and power of language in connection with sexuality and sexism.
In the last part of the workshop there will be a space for (anonymous) questions and discussions, in which the participants can talk to the speakers about workshop contents and personal (discrimination) experiences.
We would like to try to make the workshop as interactive as possible despite the corona-related online format. Of course, the whole thing is much easier and more personal to implement in real life, but we give our best and are already looking forward to all interested people!
The whole thing will take place on Wednesday, 15.07.2020 at 7 pm online via Zoom: us02web.zoom.us/j/88214709746
Neo-nazis in the countryside in the Allgäu
📅 17th of July 2020 ⌚ 19:30 📌 Online 💬 deutsch
=== The talk was postpone to the 22th of July 19:30 ===
Organic, brown and barefoot. This was the title of an investigative report on ARD television in May 2019, which revealed the right-wing extremist background of the Anastasia movement. That neo-Nazis and other right-wing extremist forces are establishing bases for their national ideology with farm and settlement projects in rural areas is nothing new. Also the quasi-religious superstructure that the Anastasia movement offers for just this ideology can be found in another form within the neo-Nazi community of species since the post-war period.
But the fact that such movements are now spreading in the local eco-scene and that one or the other neo-Nazi from the Allgäu is playing the nice farmer from next door, might be new to some. Radical right-wingers are trying to anchor themselves within the ecological and esoteric scene and to win people over to their folk and racist ideology. The radical right-wing movement has had some serious successes in the Allgäu region. The lecture is intended to provide points of reference for an urgently needed debate within the ecological scene in the Allgäu on how to deal with neo-Nazi groups.

Sound demonstration: Against inhumane attitudes
📅 18th July 2020 ⌚ 15:30 📌 Münsterplatz 💬 multilingual
At 18.07., 15.30 - approx. 17 o'clock, we demonstrate together on the Ulmer Münsterplatz against racism and inhuman attitudes.
With words and music we turn against the systematic injustice in the world. We call upon you to oppose racism and discrimination. Racism must be understood as a structural problem that, even on a local basis, here in Ulm, influences the life of many people.
Racist attitudes in society affect all of us and can only be eliminated through changes in society as a whole.
Solidarity now for a life in diversity, without Murder and oppression!

Solidarity now!
Our appeal for a multicultural society
The festival “contre le racisme Ulm/Neu-Ulm” will take place for the 5th time this year. Even if events are currently only possible to a limited extent, the importance of educating oneself about inhumane ways of thinking and acting is particularly evident during the corona pandemic.
People are currently being increasingly defamed, threatened and attacked as alleged carriers of the corona virus, just because of their appearance. At the same time, people in many places regularly gather for demonstrations against the restriction of fundamental rights, supposedly out of fear of losing democratic rights. Apart from people who are seriously concerned about our democracy, right-wing populists spread their demagogic views and inhuman attitudes at these demonstrations. This way, extremist and racist views are intended to increasingly find their way into social discourse in order to shift the boundaries of what can be said.
Hardly any (media) attention is paid to the situation of refugees on the Turkish-Greek border, in camps on the Greek islands or in reception centres in Germany. However, it is precisely there that many people are forced to live in very confined spaces - without the possibility of keeping their distance, let alone with the means of a functioning health care system.
The virus threatens all people in the world equally
The example of the fugitives shows how divided our society really is - not everyone experiences the same protection or has the same rights and resources at their disposal.
In the current state of emergency, the racist attacks of recent months are also being forgotten: In Christchurch, El Paso and Hanau, the anti-Semitic attack in Halle, the murder of Walter Lübke as well as the racist attack in Schaffnerstraße Ulm and the antiziganist killing attempt in Erbach. These assassinations clearly demonstrate: Racism is a global problem, which also occurs locally in Ulm & Neu-Ulm – even so in times of Corona.
With our events and campaigns, we want to counter racism and work for a community and living together without discrimination, oppression and threat.
With the motto "Solidarity now" we want to sensitize, educate and encourage to stand up for exactly that. We call on you to show solidarity with those affected and to make a statement together from 11th - 19th July 2020 in various digital and decentralised events such as lectures, readings and musical features. For a colourful society!
At our events ...

we look forward to lively discussions. If we have the feeling that some people just want to disturb the event, we will enforce our domestic right. Further, the organizational team may reserve to exclude people from our events, that are known in the right-wing scene or stick out with inhuman comments.
We will take pictures and movies at our events and we will publish some of them on the internet for advertising purposes. If you are not in favour with this, please write us a message, mentioning the relevant medium, or talk directly to our crew at our events.
