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.
The Society of the Many is a concept based on diversity, participation, and solidarity. It makes one thing clear: our society does not consist of a single group with a common origin, language, or religion. Instead, people with very different biographies, experiences, and cultural backgrounds live here together – and shape this society collectively.
This concept is not about denying reality: the situation in broader society is dramatically worsening. The migration society faces massive attacks and attempts of division. State violence and racism are reaching unbearable levels. Precisely because of this, the Society of the Many emphasizes the bonds of solidarity that oppose this development and continue to exist despite everything.
The Society of the Many does not center the reality of racists and right-wing extremists, but the reality of those who fight and resist – the Society of the Many as both a vision and a lived experience. It aims to empower us to organize, to stand strong, and to engage in the struggle with confidence and determination.
