The VOICE Forum Berlin commemorates 30 Years of Resistance:

For three decades, The VOICE Refugee Forum has stood as a powerful testament to the strength of self-organization among marginalized communities. Our unwavering resistance shows that true change can only come from within the communities. Our mission has been clear since the initiation in 1994, to dismantle the fears and uncertainties faced by refugees in Germany and across Europe, that deny them their human rights and the power to fight for them. As we mark 30 years of dedicated activism, we invite you to join us in reflecting on our achievements, analyzing our challenges, and renewing our commitment to the struggle.

We recognize the need to recalibrate our efforts and assess the true power of our collective voice. By affirming the inalienable human rights to freedom of movement and resettlement, and emphasizing the ongoing importance of refugee self-organization, we declare that our existence is itself an act of resistance.

As a symbol of our enduring fight, we will install symbolic BLACK BOXES, dedicated to understanding, analyzing, and advancing our course.

We call on Refugees and Migrants to unite with us by sharing your voices and appeals from your communities. Your solidarity is crucial as we continue to build a stronger network of resistance.
