Leipzig: Collecting and warning - two events are reminiscent of the 'Day X'

collect donations and warn

In memory of "Day X" on June 3, 2023, two events take place in Leipzig. Both have the goal of showing solidarity and the debate about the events of the day, especially the hours of police boiler, to give new impetus.

Two events with a common goal

The "Day X Festival" takes place on Schumann-Platz. Here people come together to remember the events of June 3, 2023. The festival not only serves the reminder, but also as a platform to discuss the events and find new solutions.

On the same day, the “Rave Against Repression” also takes place in the Richard-Wagner-Hain. Here DJ Jimi Hendrik puts on and creates a positive atmosphere in which visitors can meet the topic of repression together

Why is memory important?

The pictures of the "Day X" are still present to many Leipzigers. The red smoke that hung in the air over the water cannons and the many police officers who formed a ring around Alexis-Schumann-Platz burned down into the memory. Three months later, the organizers of the two events deliberately remember the events.

solid cohesion

An organizer of Tag X Festival emphasizes how important it is to solidarize and get up together. The memory of day X should not only draw attention to the topic of repression, but also show that those affected are not alone. It's about forming a strong community and campaigning against oppression.

A affected person also reports on his experiences that day. It is important for him that the events are not forgotten and that the debates do not deny about it. Through the two events, the focus should be on the topics of repression and police violence and the debate is kept alive.

summary

The memory of "Day X" is still present in Leipzig. Thanks to the "Day X Festival" and the "Rave Against Repression", the events of June 3, 2023 get attention again. The events serve not only for the reminder, but above all the solidarity and cohesion. It's about setting a strong sign against repression and continuing the debate.
