Young students across Germany will again gather for the next school strike against military conscription. Initiated by the Nein zur Wehrpflicht Alliance, the first strike was carried out last December as a protest movement against the new military service laws in Germany. The alliance consists of youth organizations such as Linksjugend [‘solid], the SDAJ, Yuna, or other groups like the Berliner Bündnis gegen Waffenproduktion.
Thousands of students all across Germany and even internationally have since then joined the movement to demonstrate and organize against mandatory military service, production of weaponry, and complicity in wars across the globe. School strike committees were formed, consisting mainly of students, and are now planning the school strikes and organizing events.
The next strike in Berlin will be held at Brandenburger Tor this Friday, May 8th, at 12:00, parallel to the Liberation Day remembrance events. Join us on the streets to be loud against the rearmament fantasies of the German government.
