1 SUPPORT UNITED! NETWORK AGAINST NATIONALISM, RACISM AND FASCISM AND IN SUPPORT OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES Linked through UNITED hundreds of organisations from all over Europe work together on a voluntary basis against discrimination Racism can only be combated by unity. We must stand together to support the antiracist, antidiscrimination vision to speak out against nationalism and fascism, and in support of migrants and refugees. UNITED is a network that connects organisations across Europe to raise awareness of intercultural action and respect, lobby political institutions and provide information, support, contacts and advice. Our campaigns take many approaches, but all are focused around unity and hope. Together we want to build a Europe of tolerance, solidarity and respect. We need a common voice to speak out against racism and exclusion in Europe. United our voice is stronger

2 UNITED We believe that change can only be done by networking from the bottom up through unity and solidarity. Since 1993, more than 550 organisations from 48 European countries have joined to make Europe a better place - for all. FOR We stand for mutual support, common action and the belief in the virtue of diversity. Together we want to create a Europe of respect and solidarity, a Europe of intercultural understanding. INTERCULTURAL We all live under the same sky, but see a different horizon. The UNITED network provides an exchange-platform for organisations to get connected and share expertise. Understanding common problems in different contexts enables activists to develop creative actions on all levels: regional, national and international. ACTION Common campaigns, cross-border projects and international gatherings translate the network s power into concrete action. UNITED produces and provides free campaign material & networking tools, coordinates international campaigns & projects, and brings together the expertise and creativity of hundreds of different organisations to strengthen the international anti-discrimination movement, from Portugal to Russia and from Iceland to Cyprus.

The UNITED network can only be kept alive through the mutual solidarity of supporting organisations. Solidarity means also to respect the different possibilities of each organisation.
