TOGETHER FOR
DEMOCRACY

With the limited-edition Democracy T-shirt, we are setting an example for democracy and against right-wing extremism as part of our solidary series. 100% of the profits will go to the association “Augen auf - Zivilcourage zeigen”.



Since reunification, the ideological climate in Germany has shifted further to the right than ever before. In light of this, it is more important than ever to take a stand, act and defend democracy. With this year's edition of the Solidarity Series, we want to raise awareness of the importance of democracy. The T-shirt is an appeal, a statement and a contribution at the same time.

DONATE AND
SET A SIGN

The T-shirt is more than just a piece of clothing. As a statement for democratic values, it combines attributes that together form the mosaic of democracy. At the same time, it makes an important contribution: 100% of the profits are donated to the association “Augen auf - Zivilcourage zeigen”. The non-profit association was founded in 2000 in Zittau in the district of Görlitz and aims to promote tolerance and democratic awareness in eastern Germany

Charming, provocative, committed

We forge new ideas for new formats, research current issues and needs, and answer numerous inquiries. We organize and plan events, workshops, and also carry them out. We run two meeting places that are open four days a week, primarily for refugees as a contact point for connection and support.

Addressing topics that are often uncomfortable but necessary for public awareness. Highlighting problems and grievances, connecting with people, and working out solutions. Raising awareness is also a major area of responsibility for us – too few people recognize problems or threats due to their privileges – this also applies to our internal work. There is no quiet backwater – we want to ensure that.

Implementing the work financially – we all know these activities from volunteering, but they cannot fully unfold without sufficient resources. It requires reliable and continuous structures and contact persons. The threat situation is intensifying again. People who get involved, especially in rural areas, are well-known and therefore subject to attacks.

I would choose equality and inclusion, as both go hand in hand and should be fundamental pillars of our coexistence. We are not all the same, and that is a good thing, but we are all equal and part of this society, with everything that comes with it. However, this is still a vision for the future and is only lived in fragments. But only when everyone is allowed to participate, when everyone feels represented and seen, and above all can participate in decision-making – only then can we truly speak of a democratic society.
