Neunkirchen-Seelscheid: Together against violence and for diversity

peaceful coexistence in response to violence in Neunkirchen-Seelscheid

In Neunkirchen-Seelscheid, citizens find together to confess color against violence and xenophobia. The initiative "Neunkirchen-Seelscheid is colorful" calls for a human chain this evening at 5 p.m.

The background: escalation of conflicts

The idea for this peaceful protest came to several troubling incidents that have taken place in the region in the past few weeks. At the beginning of the month there was a dispute at a bus stop in which xenophobic insults fell. In an apparently verbal conflict, a shot gun was even used, which triggered great concern in public.

another shock: arson attack?

Just a week ago, the community experienced another shock when a residential building in Seelscheid opened in flames. The state security has now started an investigation and assumes that the fire was laid out of xenophobic motifs. This increases the feeling of uncertainty and the need for community actions.

rally for diversity

The human chain is supplemented by a rally that will take place directly at the place where the house burned. The participants not only want to express their concern, but also actively promote peaceful coexistence. "We show our solidarity and stand for a colorful and respectful coexistence," explains a spokesman for the initiative.

The importance of community actions

Such actions are important to set an example against extremism and intolerance. They promote dialogue within the community and give the citizens the opportunity to actively work for their values. "We don't want to create afraid, but a feeling of security and belonging," adds the initiator.

call to participate

All Neunkirchen-Seelscheider are welcome to participate in the human chain. It is a simple but effective way to obtain a clear position against hatred and violence. By coming together, they illustrate that a diverse community is strong and lively.
