Omas gegen Rechts

About This Trend

Omas gegen Rechts is a German and Austrian civic initiative of grandmothers standing against right-wing ideologies.

According to Zeit.de, the group has been actively demonstrating for democratic values and human rights, recently protesting in Berlin for the Pride flag to be raised at the Bundestag. The initiative was founded in Vienna in 2017 and subsequently in Germany in 2018, as a response to growing right-wing political ideologies. A Wikipedia article provides more information on the initiative's origins and goals.
