Dear supporter,
Your support has made a big difference in 2025 – empowering people who work every day to build a strong, solidarity-based democracy. You have helped defend democracy where it is under attack. And we can see more clearly than ever how necessary this is.
2025 has shown how much pressure our democracy is under. While those affected are confronted with racism and antisemitism on a daily basis and right-wing extremist violence continues to increase, we at the Amadeu Antonio Foundation are also experiencing political headwinds: the AfD has attempted to attack our democratic work and cut all state funding.
But at the same time, 2025 has shown us one thing: there are many of us. And we are strong when we stand together. The enormous wave of support we received after the AfD's attack – signatures on our petition, messages of solidarity, donations – touched us deeply and strengthened us. Thank you for being one of the people who take a stand.
With your donations we were able to support those affected by right-wing violence, finance more than 300 initiatives from democratic civil society that are firmly committed to opposing right-wing extremism, antisemitism, racism, and anti-feminism, and to promoting a solidary democratic society and grow our journalistic platform Belltower.News. In total, the editorial team has published 328 articles, background research, reports, and interviews in 2025. From weekly chronicles of right-wing and racist violence to in-depth analyses of right-wing symbolism and codes, from media and internet policy to queer and anti-racist articles, Belltower reaches an audience that is seriously engaged with democracy, civil courage, and human rights.
Belltower.News is only one example of our various work. Learn more about our work and recent areas of focus here:

2026 needs solidarity. And courage.
One thing is clear: we will not be intimidated. Despite challenging circumstances, support will continue, help will be provided quickly, and solidarity will be strengthened.
Thank you for being part of our community. Thank you for taking a stand.
We wish you a happy new year!
Warm regards from the Amadeu Antonio Foundation,
Anna
