Alliance Work
As part of our work, we not only cooperate with a wide variety of actors, but are also involved in various alliances.

Bündnis gegen antimuslimischen Rassismus in Sachsen (Alliance against anti-Muslim racism in Saxony)
Anti-Muslim racism is very widespread in Saxony. This is personally burdening for Muslims and people perceived to be Muslims in Saxony, leads to numerous instances of discrimination, and damages the social climate as a whole.
In light of this problem, we co-founded the Bündnis gegen antimuslimischen Rassismus in Sachsen. We and the Haus der sozialen Vielfalt e.V. (House of Social Diversity) are now receiving funding from the Weltoffenes Sachsen (Cosmopolitan Saxony) support program to expand this alliance. The alliance joins forces and expertise from across Saxony. It strengthens anti-racism efforts, raises awareness of anti-Muslim racism, and brings together relevant actors. The goal is to enable all people in Saxony who are perceived as Muslims to live safely and free from discrimination in the Free State in the future.

BAMgA – Bundesallianz der Migrantenorganisationen gegen Antisemitismus und Menschenfeindlichkeit (Federal Alliance of Migrant Organizations Against Anti-Semitism and Misanthropy)
It is important to understand that anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and group-focused misanthropy all have the same origins. The Bundesallianz develops solutions to combat and suppress all forms of racism and discrimination. What makes it special is that the migrant communities affected are directly involved in the work and that the member organizations not only contribute to the fight against racism and discrimination in their everyday work, but also in the form of the work of the Federal Alliance.
