With their campaign, DIE ZEIT, Handelsblatt, S¨¹ddeutsche Zeitung, Tagesspiegel, WirtschaftsWoche and Str?er, together with around 350 scientific institutions and more than 500 companies, foundations and associations, are sending out a signal against right-wing extremism and committing themselves to freedom, diversity and a welcoming culture.

A joint statement reads:

"Dull populism? No thanks! The so-called "remigration" of our friends, neighbours and colleagues? Certainly not. And fascism? Never again!
Germany does not need an alternative to freedom and diversity. We have learnt from history and have not forgotten how inhumanity - at first secretly and cautiously, then oppressively and brutally - penetrated society. The present time demands a clear stance.
Together, we stand for an open country that courageously faces up to the challenges instead of allowing itself to be inflamed and incited by right-wing propaganda. Because we already know where that can lead.
So, this year counts: Against hatred and division. For a new togetherness. Strong together in a diverse #TogetherLand."
