Bremen Solidarity Centre (BreSoC) e.V. - Solidarity instead of paternalism

The Bremen Solidarity Centre (BreSoC) e.V. does not base its work as an independent, non-profit advocacy and political education organization on the concept of "help" for refugees, but rather on the principles of
solidarity.
 
We understand solidarity as any action—whether in words or deeds—that is undertaken to undermine or eliminate the systemic and tangible inequalities or barriers between the privileged and the disadvantaged. We firmly believe that the disadvantaged should enjoy the same privileges as everyone else—not out of kindness or generosity, but simply because it is their fundamental right.
 "Solidarity instead of paternalism" is therefore at the heart of the commitment, activities, and vision of the Bremen Solidarity Centre (BreSoC) e.V.
 
 WHAT WE WANT:
 • Create platforms and forums to give refugees a voice
 • Empower and mobilize refugees so they can reclaim their dignity
 • Encourage, facilitate, and support the formation and maintenance of self-organized refugee groups
 • Raise public awareness about the situation of refugees
 • Build broad support for the recognition and implementation of asylum rights and refugee rights
 • Create space for critical dialogue about "whiteness" and racism in Germany and Europe
