March 21st was declared International Day for the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination by the General Assembly of the United Nations as a reaction to the murder of 70 peaceful anti-apartheid demonstrators in Sharpeville, South-Africa, in 1960.
Racism cannot be justified or tolerated it must be put to an end! This year once again hundreds of activities will take place all around Europe, organised by a very wide variety of organisations. We have to stand together, be UNITED to support the antiracist and anti discrimination vision and to SPEAK OUT against racism and the negative political tendencies in Europe! It is the variety and creativity of many different simultaneous activities all over Europe that make the UNITED campaigns unique.
UNITED co-ordinates the European-Wide Action Week Against Racism, functions as information point and distributes free posters and other campaigning tools to support organisations and activists. In 2007 activities in more than 40 countries took place and hundreds of thousands of people were involved making this the biggest anti-racism campaign ever. 'Get active' and speak out against racism and intolerance.

"International Refugee Day 2008"
annual event
On 4th of December 2000 the General Assembly of the United Nations unanimously adopted a resolution to proclaim 20th of June as the World Refugee Day. Around this date activities in support of refugees will take place all over Europe.
Demonstrations, conferences, festivals and exhibitions will be organized.
Since several years UNITED has co-ordinated an international refugee campaign, which consists of two complimentary parts:
- Promoting a save environment for refugees and asylum seekers where they do not have to fear racism and intolerance.
- Protesting against the restrictive asylum policies, that are often referred to as "Fortress Europe": especially focusing attention on the deaths of already nearly 10 people since 1993 who tried to find a save haven in Europe.
UNITED calls upon organisations to contribute to this awareness raising campaign. Keep the secretariat informed about your activities. For more information visit the Refugee Campaign Site.

INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST FASCISM AND ANTISEMITISM
Annual European-wide action day

09.11.2008
"International Day Against Fascism And Antisemitism"
"UNITED we are Strong!"
The focus of the campaign around the 9 November is to join forces and build a strong movement capable of fighting fascism in all its forms. Anti-fascist, anti-racist, Jewish and Roma organisations both inside and outside the UNITED network commemorate the “Kristallnacht”, which took place on 9 November 1938. This partly state-organised pogrom against German Jews symbolises the beginning of the Holocaust. The commemoration has taken a new meaning as we remember not only the victims from 1938, but also campaign against rise of neo-Nazism and racism in Europe today, and show support for the recent victims of racist and fascist attacks. If you decide to organise an event, please inform UNITED. We will publish a List of Activities on Internet and we can provide you with free material, like posters and postcards.
