RISE IN RAGE. BUILD IN STRUGGLE - CALL TO THE REVOLUTIONARY 8TH OF MARCH DEMONSTRATION BERLIN 2026
Callout by Alliance of Internationalist Feminists
On the 8th of March, we reclaim its revolutionary roots: not a day of empty gestures, but a day of militant internationalist solidarity and revolt. In a world of colonial invasions, imperialist wars, state brutality, and the crushing machinery of borders and prisons, we rise. We rise to honor those who resist, who fight back, and build life in the face of systemic death.
We center our rage on the inseparable ties between land, self-determination, and collective liberation. We assert that the land—from Palestine to Mapuche land, from Rojava to Burkina Faso, Niger, or Mali—is the base of life, autonomy, and struggle. The right to defend it, by any means necessary, belongs to the oppressed.
We reject the co-optation of our movements by states, NGOs, and the empty slogans of "the people" or "women." These are used to justify the politics of surrender, the all-consuming greed and relentless expansion of USA/NATO imperialism, the sanctions regime of the EU and USA, military intervention, resource plunder, and genocide.
The only path to justice is revolutionary self-determination: building power from below, without permission from corrupt powers. It means organizing life against extractivism, exploitation, and death.
We honor every form of popular resistance—from the militant defiance on occupied lands, to the steadfastness of Gaza, to the acts of survival on the borders, in the mines, in the factories, and on the streets. They keep the flame of hope alive, essential for breaking the system. To burn down all their prisons, mass incarceration complexes, deportation camps, settler colonies, and empires—all those structures designed to criminalize migration, resistance, and the very will to be free.
We follow the lead of our Siblings from the Global South, refusing to separate the fight against patriarchy from the fight against imperialism, capitalism, colonialism, and all state violence. Their struggle is our compass. Join us on the streets for this year's revolutionary 8th of March demonstration. Let us be loud and clear: We are not here to negotiate, but to escalate. Not to reform, but to overthrow.
We rise in our rage. We build in struggle.
Until total liberation!
