Statement of Solidarity with the Victims of the Discriminatory Attacks in Cottbus

Last week, there was an arson attack in Cottbus on the “Zelle 79” housing project, which put people’s lives at risk. That same night, an arson attack was carried out on the Chekov youth club, and the following night, the windows of the community center “Der grüne Laden” were smashed and a rainbow flag was stolen.

The team at the MIKOWA research platform and ZeStuR Cluster 5, “Conflicts over Democracy and Migration,” stand in solidarity with the targeted projects and call on everyone to participate in the CSD on July 11 to take a stand and support those affected by right-wing extremism, antisemitism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, and heterosexism.

And last but not least, we want to celebrate diversity! Click here to visit the website providing information about the CSD in Cottbus and Lower Lusatia.
