This quiz will help you find out what type of activist you are – and which forms of protest and engagement suit you best. In addition to classic forms of protest such as large demonstrations, rallies or distributing flyers, there are many other ways to get involved in the 'society of many': creatively, in solidarity, historically, digitally or in a very practical way in everyday life.
Protest slogans like "No borders, no nations!" are more than just loud words. They are declarations of the struggle against racism, against state violence, against the EU border regime. They stand for a "Society of the Many" – for solidarity, justice and the right to freedom of movement.
In the „Society of the Many“, migration is the foundation of our society. People with different backgrounds live together, fight together for equal rights, and shape society. The Society of the Many is therefore both: a vision for a more just future – and a reality we already experience today.
