9 NOVEMBER 2001: commemoration of the "Kristallnacht" pogrom
International Day Against Fascism and Anti-Semitism
Already actions in 28 countries! And the list continues to grow. A new
updated list of activities is available on the UNITED website
http://www.unitedagainstracism.org (click under 'new'). Print it now
and use it in your activities. If you cannot use the list as it is on
the web, ask the UNITED secretariat to send you an attached file with
the list.
MEDIA ACTION
UNITED will send out a media release to all the important European
media.
If you want to make sure that your contacts are included, you can:
- send media contact addresses/fax numbers to UNITED - resend the
media release within your country The media release will also be sent
out to all organisations in the network.
If you have suggestions on something that absolutely needs to be
mentioned, please let us know.
JOIN THE SOLIDARITY CHAIN
In the new list of activities you find the contact details of all
organisations who have joined the campaign until now. As racism and
fascism pervade our societies - and even in some cases our governments
- we should show each other that we care!
Underneath is an example of a message of solidarity. You could send
such messages to all organisations on this list, that are preparing
activities. We should let each other know that we want to "RESIST
AGAINST INTOLERANCE"!

MESSAGE OF SOLIDARITY
to organisations participating in 9 November International Day Against
Fascism and Antisemitism commemoration of the "Kristallnacht" pogrom
Dear friends,
In at least 28 countries activities are taking place on this special
date. All over Europe thousands of people are commemorating the
"Kristallnacht " pogrom in their own way.
This November 9 we especially ask attention for resistance against
intolerance. With these activities we want to get the attention of the
general public but also of the governments. Discrimination and racism
are not tolerable in a democratic society. Of course our struggle goes
on after this day. Resistance is needed every day!
The activity you are organising is not an individual one. All the many
groups in Europe which are active around 9 November 2000 are part of a
common movement. All of us fight against fascist tendencies and
antisemitism. We will go on to be active to make both the governments
and the public aware of their responsibilities. "Never Again" will
otherwise only be an empty slogan. We wish you strength, luck and
success in your activities.
Resistance: if not us, who? if not now, when? if not here, where?
