Kiezevent für Solidarität und Widerstand

We are witnessing the most severe attacks on the welfare state and workers’ rights in decades. At the same time, billions are being poured into military spending. Poverty, displacement, sexism and anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, racism, and police violence—as well as the consequences of the climate crisis, wars, and the genocide in Palestine—shape the daily lives of many people in Neukölln.

But when the CDU, SPD, and their allies are ramping up military spending, cutting benefits, dividing communities, and inciting hatred against us—thereby also strengthening the AfD—we must resist! Because change begins when people stand together and fight back collectively—in the workplace, as tenants, or during school strikes.

We don’t need empty political promises; we need a rebellious Left that consistently stands with workplace struggles and protest movements. A Left that listens, organizes, and speaks the truth even in the face of opposition—in parliament and on the streets.

Come join us, connect with neighbors, coworkers, and comrades from Linke Neukölln. Together, we’ll turn the neighborhood into a heart of solidarity and resistance!
