Demo "Take Back the Night!"

In the organizer's words:

Shared Fights - Take Back the Night!

April 30th 2026 at Zickenplatz (U Schönleinstr.)

Rally starts at 20:00, Demo starts at 21:00

Let's take the streets once again for a queerfeminist demonstration on Walpurgisnacht, and Take Back the Night! Feminists, trans and queer people, join with us to reclaim our streets for our shared struggles - local and worldwide. When we're together, our collective strength is unbreakable, so we stand together, fight together, and braid the revolution together!

It's time to use our anger and fight back against racist, queerphobic, and misogynist harassment on our streets, and the patriarchal society that fuels it. We are not asking to fit in, but taking back what belongs to us!

Let's fight back against the increasing imperialist authoritarianism and militarism in society: against the racist & patriarchal police violence in our city, against Pink Lists that aim to surveil trans & queer people. Against military service requirements, AI surveillance and fences in our neighbourhoods, against the criminalization of sex work, against Nazi attacks on us when we walk home at night, against brutal raids, and against the false blaming of migrant communities. We say ABOLISH FRONTEX, ABOLISH ICE, ABOLISH GEAS!

We stand in solidarity with our internationalist comrades around the world fighting the brutality of imperialist nation states and their patriarchal regimes. We stand with the living self-organized Feminist Revolution in Rojava and their fight against the brutal attacks targeting them. There's no safety with the state or the police!

Let's continue fighting against the imperialist, genocidal, neo-colonial axis that spreads death and displacement from the EU's borders to the ongoing genocide in Palestine - all financed with German money and executed with German weapons!

We will never be silent about the instrumentalization of our "safety" to normalize racist, fascist and transmisogynistic ideologies, while ignoring that the real perpetrators are mostly rich, white, powerful men, famous German actors, husbands and partners.

We will never be silent about our dead and imprisoned siblings. Our shared fight can't be stopped by prison walls! This year we dedicate this demo to Devran, a comrade that was part of our common struggle her whole life. She was part of the Antifa Genclik, the fight for the freedom of movement around Oranienplatz and joined the Take Back the Night-demo every year. We lost her last November in the battle against the demons that the oppressing systems put in our heads and souls - loneliness and alienation. But as Rio Reiser said: we will win the last battle.

Unless representing an oppressed group struggling for self-determination, leave your nation-state flags at home.

Keep your comrades safe - stay at home if you have cold symptoms, and wear a mask during the protest. Tests for COVID-19 and masks will be handed out during the rally.

No TERFs, SWERFs, racists, sexists, or zionists. Don't police the gender of fellow demo participants! Our existence is not negotiable! No anti-trans laws can change our lived reality!

Common struggles - Take Back the Night!

April 30, 2026 at Zickenplatz (U Schönleinstr.)

Rally starts at 20:00, demonstration at 21:00

Let's take to the streets again on Walpurgis Night for a queer-feminist demonstration and "Take Back the Night"!
Feminists, trans and queer people, join us to reclaim the streets for our common struggles - locally and globally. When we are together, our collective strength is indestructible, so let's stand together, fight together and weave the revolution together!

It's time to harness our anger and fight back against racist, queerphobic and misogynistic harassment on our streets and the patriarchal society that fuels it. We don't want to conform, we want to take back what is ours!

Let's fight back against the increasing imperialist authoritarianism and militarism in society: against the racist and patriarchal police violence in our city, against pink lists that aim to police trans and queer people. Against conscription, AI surveillance and fences in our neighbourhoods, against the criminalization of sex work, against Nazi attacks on us when we go home at night, against brutal raids and against the false blaming of migrant communities. We say: ABOLISH FRONTEX, ABOLISH ICE, ABOLISH GEAS!

We stand in solidarity with our internationalist comrades around the world who are fighting against the brutality of imperialist nation states and their patriarchal regimes. We stand behind the vibrant, self-organized feminist revolution in Rojava and its struggle against the brutal attacks directed against it. There is no security from the state or the police.

Let us continue to fight against the imperialist, genocidal, neo-colonial axis that spreads death and displacement from the borders of the EU to the ongoing genocide in Palestine - all financed with German money and carried out with German weapons!

We will never be silent about the instrumentalization of our "security" to normalize racist, fascist and transmisogynist ideologies, while ignoring that the real perpetrators are mostly rich, white, powerful men, famous German actors, husbands and partners.

We will never be silent when it comes to our dead and imprisoned brothers and sisters. Our common struggle cannot be stopped by prison walls!
This year we dedicate this demo to Devran, a comrade who has been part of our common struggles all her life. She was part of Antifa Genclik, fought for the Freedom of movement around Oranienplatz and took part in the "Take Back the Night" demo every year. We lost her last November fighting the demons that the systems of oppression plant in our minds and souls - loneliness and alienation. But as Rio Reiser said, we will win the final battle.

Unless you represent an oppressed group fighting for self-determination, please leave your national flags at home.

Protect your fellow marchers - stay at home if you have cold symptoms and wear a mask during the demonstration. COVID-19 tests and masks will be distributed during the rally.

No TERFs, SWERFs, racists, sexists or Zionists. Do not control the gender of other demonstrators! Our existence is non-negotiable! No anti-trans laws can change our lived reality!
