Davidsterne für Heikendorf

Demo gegen Antisemitismus und Rechtsextremismus

Sonntag, den 5. September 2021, 14 Uhr
Marktplatz in Heikendorf

Was ist „normal“ in Heikendorf?

  • Klage gegen Davidstern
  • Private Nazikunstsammlung
  • Rechtsextreme Treffen am Ehrenmal

Viele ducken sich weg und schweigen. Wir nicht!

Let´s get visible and loud! Heikendorf ist kein Nazidorf!

Seit Jahren wird eine Jüdin in Heikendorf antisemitisch angefeindet.
Schließlich wurde sie verklagt, den außen an ihrer Wohnungstür angebrachten Davidstern zu entfernen. Als sie sich weigerte, dem Folge zu leisten, wurde ihr vom Vermieter, angeblich wegen „Eigenbedarf“, gekündigt.

Dass nun – im Jubiläumsjahr „1700 Jahre jüdisches Leben in Deutschland“ – vor einem deutschen Gericht eine Klage verhandelt wird, die auf Entfernung eines Davidssterns zielt, ist unerträglich.

Seit Jahren ist bekannt, dass es in Heikendorf und Umgebung auch Probleme mit Rechtsextremismus gibt. Dinge, die eigentlich alle wissen, die man aber nicht oder nur sehr ungern bespricht und behandelt.

Überregionale Bekanntheit erlangte ein ortsbekannter Wehrmachtsfan, aus dessen Keller die Bundeswehr 2015 einen Nazi-Panzer barg und der in seinem Garten Nazikunst sammelte. Vor dem U-Boot-Ehrenmal in Möltenort kam es zu rechtsextremen Treffen. Man spricht von Schießübungen im Wald. Es gab Hakenkreuzschmierereien.

Es braucht Widerspruch gegen antisemitische und neo-nazistische Äußerungen und Taten!
Es braucht tägliche Ausgrenzung von Antisemiten und Neo-Nazis! Es muss Schluss sein mit dem Wegschauen, Nicht-Benennen und Dulden!
In Heikendorf ist für Antisemitismus und rechtsextreme Taten kein Platz!

Solidarisiert Euch, teilt den Aufruf und kommt zahlreich zur Demo!

Bitte achtet auf die Einhaltung der Corona-Regeln (Abstand & Masken)!

reposting from someone's comment on their limited post:

Outlaw discrimination against those who do not get a Covid-19 vaccination

The individual must remain sovereign over their own body, discrimination against those who cannot or will not be vaccinated against COVID is incompatible with a free democracy. The Government must take firm action to prevent ‘vaccination passports’ and discriminatory ‘no jab, no job’ policies.

Antisemitismus in Heikendorf

Eine Bürgerin Heikendorfs – einer kleinen Gemeinde auf dem Kieler Ostufer – wurde von Nachbarn und vom Vermieter antisemitisch bedrängt und schließlich aufgefordert, einen außen an ihrer Wohnungstür angebrachten Davidsstern zu entfernen. Als sie sich weigerte, dem Folge zu leisten, wurde ihr vom Vermieter, angeblich wegen „Eigenbedarf“, gekündigt.

Nun regt sich dagegen Widerspruch. Ein Pastor der örtlichen Kirchengemeinde hat eine Petition aufgesetzt: https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/kein-platz-fuer-antisemitismus-in-heikendorf

Heikendorf wurde jüngst wieder Gegenstand über-regionalen Interesses, weil dort der Waffen-Freak Klaus-Dieter Flick lebt, in dessen Keller 2015 ein riesiges Waffenarsenal gefunden wurde und aus dem u.a. ein Weltkriegspanzer abgeschleppt wurde. Wegen dieses Falls steht er nun vor Gericht. In seinem Garten fand sich u.a. auch eine als Kopie ausgegebene NS-Statue mit dem Titel „Die Wehrmacht“ von Arno Breker.

Through many years of activism, we stopped the Keystone XL pipeline. Now, we must pressure the Biden administration to halt other Trump touted pipelines
#Politics #BigOil #FossilFuels #Trump #Biden #KeystoneXL #Line3 #Line5 #DakotaAcessPipeline #NRDC #Letter #Petition

"The Keystone XL tar sands pipeline is dead. TC Energy, the company behind KXL, officially cancelled the project after the Biden administration revoked key permits that were rushed through under former-President Trump.

I'm proud to say that this would not have happened without the vision, tenacity, and unflagging optimism of NRDC supporters like you who fought this hard-won battle with us over the last 12+ years.

This victory is proof that together, we can break the fossil fuel industry's iron grip on our energy supply. But there are a slew of dangerous pipeline projects around the country that still threaten our climate and clean energy progress, including the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), the Line 3 and Line 5 oil pipelines, and the Pacific Connector and Mountain Valley gas pipelines.

These projects were championed by former-President Trump — and now President Biden must make sure these dangerous pipelines never see the light of day.

NRDC and our members and supporters were part of the movement against Keystone XL from Day One. We stand with the Indigenous and frontline communities who are fighting to protect their lands and waterways from other dirty, dangerous pipelines that violate decades-old land treaties, circumvent bedrock environmental laws, and derail our path towards the 100% clean energy future we need to continue life on Earth.

The Biden administration shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, and they have the power to shut down DAPL, the Line 3 and Line 5 oil pipelines that would pass through large swaths of the Midwest and under the Great Lakes, the Pacific Connector gas pipeline that would cut across nearly 500 waterways in Oregon, the Mountain Valley gas pipeline that would pass from West Virginia to North Carolina, and every other climate-busting fossil fuel pipeline greenlit under the Trump administration. In this moment, our voices must be louder than the fossil fuel industry as it desperately attempts to cling to the status quo.

Thank you for everything you've done to help stop Keystone XL, and for fighting alongside us now to ensure these remaining fossil fuel pipelines meet the same fate.

Sincerely,
Anthony Swift
Canada Project Director, NRDC"

Send an urgent message to President Biden right now: STOP THE TRUMP FOSSIL FUEL PIPELINES. The only way forward is towards a future free from dirty fossil fuels.

Now is the time to hold President Biden's feet to the fire for real action on the climate crisis
#Politics #ClimateCrisis #PresidentBiden #NRDC #FossilFuels #G7 #Letter #Petition

"President Biden is our best chance for meaningful climate action.

He's already taken bold steps to address the climate crisis: Last month, he announced the U.S.'s commitment to cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of the decade, and he will invest a whopping 40% of climate funding into the communities that have been most impacted by climate change — which is exactly where it should go!

But success is far from guaranteed. With razor-thin pro-environment majorities in both chambers of Congress, and fierce resistance from big polluters, our window of opportunity for tackling the climate crisis is narrow.

The last four years were a nightmare for people and the environment. The Trump administration and its polluter pals did everything in their power to put profits above all else — and the low-income communities and communities of color already disproportionately burdened by the climate crisis and pollution have overwhelmingly paid the price. Enough of that!

We need to make up for lost time — not just undoing Trump's dangerous attacks, but also accelerating toward a new era of bold climate action:

... Cutting greenhouse gas pollution in half by 2030? Yes!
... Creating millions of clean energy jobs and investing in underserved communities? Absolutely!
... Supporting the battle for climate justice in communities of color disproportionately impacted by fossil fuel pollution and climate change? No doubt!
... Going big with investments like expanding electric vehicle charging stations, strengthening the grid, and capping and cleaning up millions of abandoned oil and gas wells? For sure!
... Protecting oceans, forests, wetlands, and other natural resources? You got it!

If we're going to avert a climate catastrophe, we need our elected officials to step up and make climate action a top priority — but we all have to do our part to make them feel the heat.

Sincerely,

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Trustee, NRDC"

Tell President Biden to follow through on his promise to take bold climate action!
