How about a world where everyone has freedom of movement? A world where borders are gone? We want to celebrate in solidarity and donate our earnings to the societies Flüchtlingshilfe Lippe (“Help for refugees” Lippe) and Fluchtpunkt (“place of refuge“).
What is “Flüchtlingshilfe Lippe e.V.”?
Flüchtlingshilfe Lippe gives advice to refugees here in Detmold and in
the whole region of Lippe and is, in our opinion, doing very good and
important work. In addition, Flüchtlingshilfe Lippe is offering advice
on procedures since late 2014. New jobs are coming up and the society is
forming a team that works together while discarding hierarchic
structures. There is plenty of work to be done, but on the other hand,
time and money are short. That's why we want to support.

What does “Fluchtpunkt” do?
“Fluchtpunkt” is a coalition for action/group of people that works for
and with refugees. They support and organize refugee protests, and offer
help with translation, visits to the authorities and finding language
courses. Additionally, individual help for local refugees, like
organizing non-monetary donations, helping during financial shortages
and, above all, establishing contact, is of great importance.

People don't flee without a reason.
But Europe's borders are closed tightly. If taking the route by sea,
only those close enough to the borders will be rescued. Many drown in
the Mediterranean Sea. Tens of thousands die every year at the European
borders.
Many of those that eventually make it through to Germany
are traumatized - not exclusively by the events in their country of
origin.
Additionally, there are reports of torture and imprisonment
in so-called “safe” third-states (third-states = “Drittstaaten” = any
country that is neither Germany nor the country of origin).
Every person that entered via one of these “safe” European countries is
forced to seek asylum in that one country. If someone seeks asylum in
Germany, s_he will be pushed back. This is how Europe secures its outer
borders while raising inner borders for people who just want to arrive.
One example for the precarious situation in the so-called “safe”
third-states are the questionable reasons given for imprisonment of
asylum-seekers in Hungary. In Italy, on the other hand, asylum is
granted “easily”, but there are neither chances for receiving public
perks nor is it allowed to work as a refugee. People stuck with being on
the streets, not allowed to leave Italy, are the consequence.
Out of all people seeking asylum in Germany in 2013, 26,4% were granted
protection. The rate of approval may have risen, but there is still an
estimated 50% that are not granted asylum. These people left literally
everything in their lives behind, seeking for help, just to get sent
back. And they are imprisoned if they try to resist.
Both
societies we aim to support can testify that the treatment of refugees
by the authorities is often of racist nature. Looking at the amount of
racist assaults, discrimination in offices, protests against openings of
new camps leading up to arson attacks on refugee centers, it becomes
clear that racism, nationalism and prejudice are still rooted deeply in
the minds of many.
Much needs to change! In Germany, in Europe, in the whole world, and in the minds of people!
