"Following the anti-LGBTI+ attack on the Berlin CSD, the mainstream media and politicians wasted no time in launching a racist smear campaign.

We will not let this horrific attack and their attempts to divide us go unanswered!

A delivery van plowed into the crowd.

At the Berlin Pride Parade, over a dozen people were seriously injured, and one woman was murdered.

This news has shaken us all.

This attack is part of the escalating violence against LGBTI+ people in recent years:

Hundreds of fascists are mobilizing against Pride parades and carrying out physical assaults—and now: an attack on one of Europe’s largest Pride parades.

The government is further fueling this hate speech; just a few years ago they were still waving rainbow flags, and now the cityscape is supposedly “too diverse” for them?!

The violence against us is systemic.

We are already seeing how reactionary media are exploiting police search warrants to stigmatize religious communities and migrants.

This hate-filled rhetoric is part of a fascist agenda that has been directed against LGBTI+ people and migrants for years.

Trans people are denied their very existence, and migrants are harassed and even murdered by the police in broad daylight.

We honor the memory of Lorenz A., Ella, and Malte C.

Let’s take to the streets together on Sunday—from grief, to anger, to resistance!"
