Lantern-Demonstration "Rent down - dragon up

On Saturday, 23 November 2024, the lantern demonstration "Rent down - dragon up" initiated by Bizim Kiez will take place at 4pm at Rio-Reiser-Platz. The aim of this demonstration is to show solidarity and fight against the displacement of tenants and small shops in Kreuzberg. Immediate measures against property speculation will be demanded, including a nationwide rent cap, the socialisation of housing companies and protection mechanisms against owner-occupier evictions.

The background to the initiative is the worrying development in neighbourhoods where there is an urgent lack of affordable housing, while at the same time there is an increase in tourist development. The event aims to draw attention to these shortcomings and to promote vibrant neighbourhoods and social justice.
