campact action on August 31, 2009 in Bremen during the search for a repository

Campact [ kæmpækt ] is a formerly non - profit, non - governmental organization that was established in 2004 and is based in Berlin . It was founded based on the model of the American online platform MoveOn and offers an internet-based participation forum with which protest e-mails or calls can be sent to political decision-makers in a bundled form in the form of online petitions . According to its own description, Campact creates “a network of people on the Internet who interfere when political decisions are on the brink”. Campact wants to enable politically interested people who have less time to become politically active by using the Internet. There are currently more than 1.8 million people registered with Campact who take part in the campaigns. In January 2018, an arson attack was carried out by unknown persons on a campact hall in Verden an der Aller .

Alongside other organizations, the association sponsors an annual event at the beginning of January under the motto We're fed up! demonstration taking place in Berlin.

structure

Campact is a registered association run by a three-person executive board who reports to twelve full members. The 2011 budget was around two million euros from donations and grants, and in 2018 the organization had a budget of 10.1 million euros. In 2014, 22.5 full-time positions were held in Berlin and Verden, and over 60 employees have been named for 2018.

financing

At the beginning the association was financed by donations; In 2009 these were the European Climate Foundation , the Movement Foundation , the GEKKO Foundation, the “bridge” Foundation and the Hans Böckler Foundation . The organization has been financed exclusively from donations and grants since 2011.

aims

Campact organizes campaigns on a wide range of political issues. Declared goals of the organization include a. the strengthening of the welfare state , publicly financed childcare - through higher taxation of high incomes and assets - all-day schools, the protection of the natural basis of life and the strengthening of democratic participation . The analyzes and positions of Campact were supported in the founding phase by a group of advisors that is no longer active. In the campaigns, Campact often cooperates with specialist organizations; in 2009 there were more than 30 different cooperation partners.

Organization history

Campact is organized as an association, started as an organization in the Verden eco-center and cooperated with other groups active there. Since a large part of the actions took place in Berlin, campact also built up its structures there. Later, Berlin also became the association's official headquarters.

On the night of January 9, 2018, an arson attack was carried out on a campact warehouse at the Verden eco-center. Over 2500 campaign materials from the organization were stored in the 200 square meter hall. Banners, costumes, masks, flags, megaphones and tools were burned. The fire brigade was able to prevent the fire from spreading to the neighboring supermarket. Because a political motive was assumed, the state security took over the investigation. According to police estimates, the damage was in the five-digit range.

After the international online campaign platform Avaaz was founded by MoveOn.org and other US organizations, Internet activism gained momentum with the British Open Rights Group and 38 Degrees in Europe. Finally, the Europe-wide active “Avanti Europe!” And WeMove .eu were created.

Withdrawal of non-profit status

In 2019, Campact was stripped of its non-profit status. The tax office stated that the organization was mainly active in general politics. Campact carried out campaigns on topics that could not be assigned to any charitable purpose of the tax code.

Campaigns and Actions

Campact has not, for example, campaigns for greater transparency about perks of deputies, against a comeback of nuclear energy , for alternatives to increase the value added tax , against software patents , for referendums at the federal level, for a restrictive law on genetic engineering , against tax evasion and against the privatization of Deutsche Bahn organized . The aim of Campact campaigns is on the one hand to strengthen communication between citizens and politics on current political issues. On the other hand, Campact wants to enable citizens to influence politics with online actions. They should be able to be active precisely when political decisions are pending.

2005

In 2005, Campact organized a campaign for MPs to disclose extra income. In cooperation with Attac , BUND , Transparency International and Mehr Demokratie e. V. supported citizens with online campaigns during the political process and called for stricter transparency rules. The campaign helped to ensure that stricter publication rules were enacted at the end of 2005.

In April 2005 Campact started a campaign together with the Linux Association and Attac against the planned guideline for software patents in the European Union . Approximately 5,000 participants uploaded a picture of themselves to the Campact website as part of an online demonstration. The online demonstration was unfurled as a banner in front of the European Parliament on the day of the vote. On July 5, 2005, Parliament rejected the directive, against which there had been widespread protests across Europe.

Together with BUND and X-thousand times across , Campact has been organizing the anti-nuclear campaign " .ausgestrahlt " since September 2005 . This is to prevent a comeback of nuclear energy . The alliance accompanied the coalition negotiations with online campaigns and on-site presence. “.Ausgestrachte” has meanwhile become an independent organization.

2006

In January 2006, Campact began a campaign against the dilution of liability rules through an amendment to the Genetic Engineering Act . Campact mobilized supporters for a balloon campaign in the field of genetic engineering. In November, 13,000 balloons formed the words “ Gen-Food - No thanks!” In the administrative district and were then launched together.

In autumn 2006, Campact launched a campaign against the planned reform of copyright law . An initially envisaged Bagatell clause was canceled under pressure from the music and media groups from the bill. It would have protected anyone who only made small copies and made copies for private use from prosecution . In Campact's view, with the deletion of the clause there is a risk of criminalizing large sections of the population. Campact set up "the world's first internet prison" to mobilize against the planned copyright reform.

2007

In January the “ Stop fuel guzzlers !” Campaign was launched. The aim is to achieve binding upper limits for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from new vehicles throughout the EU . Within five days, 12,000 people responded to the call to send a protest e-mail to the responsible politicians.

In March Campact launched an online appeal to the German government to advocate strict limits on carbon dioxide emissions for new cars during the EU Council Presidency and to campaign for sustainable environmental policy in Germany and Europe. In June Campact activists handed over 32,000 signatures to Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel ahead of a meeting of EU environment ministers .

In an online campaign addressed to the parliamentary group chairmen of the CDU and SPD, Campact and over 5,000 signatories of the campaign in May 2007 demanded the implementation of the regulations passed by the Bundestag on the transparency of ancillary income from politicians, which are made up of numerous, sometimes prominent members of the Bundestag oppose. The Bundestag has now implemented the resolution. Campact had advocated publication of the ancillary income of politicians for over two years.

2008

The following campaigns are listed in the 2008 review:

  • "Bring Galaze Salame home"
  • "FingeRWEg von Belene" ( a nuclear power plant is planned in Belene , Bulgaria ; RWE actually got out in October 2009, since then the project has been on hold)
  • "Stop tax evasion"
  • "Stop railway privatization" (media-effective presentations of the more than 11,000 signatures on this demand; in October 2008 the railway privatization was postponed indefinitely because of the financial crisis , which Campact activists had previously requested in e-mails)
  • "GM maize": only a ban protects (it was about MON810 , consumer minister Ilse Aigner had cultivation in Germany banned in April 2009)
  • "Courage for climate protection, Ms. Merkel"

2009

At the demonstration of the "Search for a repository" campaign in Stuttgart 2009

Before the 2009 federal election , Campact launched a new anti-nuclear campaign in August 2009, which also included the nuclear tour . A car prepared as a Castor transport rolled through twelve major German cities, including Berlin and Hamburg . The fictitious search for a repository for nuclear waste in densely populated cities was intended to draw attention to the unsolved repository problem of nuclear power . In an alliance with citizens' initiatives and environmental associations, Campact also called for the large-scale demonstration “Switch off properly” on September 5, 2009 in Berlin. The organizers spoke of over 50,000 demonstrators and 300 tractors. In order not to let the event be instrumentalized by party politics, no politician spoke on the podium.

2010

In 2010 Campact carried out further online campaigns and actions, including for climate protection , for the nuclear phase-out (e.g. mobilization for and participation in the 120-kilometer human chain and protests in Berlin) and against austerity plans by the federal government with the demand for a socially just savings package. Campact started the campaign "Stopping head flat rate" u. a. with an action in front of the Bundestag in Berlin. Campaign partners were here u. a. Ver.di and Diakonie . Campact supported from October 2010 together with z. B. the VCD and the BUND protests against Stuttgart 21 and called for a construction freeze and a referendum.

2011

On May 21, 2011, Campact launched thousands of balloons from a 25 meter wide radioactivity sign in front of the Unterweser nuclear power plant (near Bremen). The balloons symbolized a radioactive cloud . The spread of the balloons was intended to demonstrate how radioactivity would spread inexorably in the event of a disaster . A card was attached to each of the balloons; she asked the person who found the balloon to note the location on an Internet map.

Campact continued the campaigns for the trade agreement TTIP as a focus in 2014 and expanded it to the planned Canadian-European agreement CETA during the course of the year . In addition to online petitions, Campact started other activities, including 24,000 volunteers active in Campact for the 2014 European elections handing out six million information sheets in the form of door hangers, which provided information on the positions of the most important parties involved in TTIP. Citizens mobilized by Campact protested against TTIP at election rallies for top candidates, often in the form of flash mobs . Campact also took part in activities of the “TTIP unFAIR tradable” alliance and as a supporter of a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) “Stop TTIP”.

With both electronic and printed publications and explanatory videos , Campact contributed to the debate in Germany on all aspects of trade agreements: The TTIP brochure “on site”, written by Thomas Fritz, discussed the consequences of TTIP for federal states and municipalities. Campact's explanatory video for the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) arbitration procedure envisaged by TTIP has now received several hundred thousand hits. Looking back on the TTIP protest in May 2015 , the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung stated : "The focus of protest activities in Germany is the 'Campact' association".

Citizens passed it on to various members of parliament in writing.
  • Campact started a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) in 2017 together with several partners. Over a million Europeans have signed up for a glyphosate ban - and set a record: never before had a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) cracked one million within four months.

He said, "I am your ally and I will do my best so that the EU will come up with an ambitious plastic strategy."

2020

transparency

Campact supports the in June 2010 by Transparency International Deutschland e. V. launched the Transparent Civil Society initiative and publishes a transparency report once a year. There are currently no uniform publication requirements for non-profit organizations in Germany. Campact has committed itself to publish information about goals, sources of funds, use of funds and decision-making paths according to the guidelines of the initiative.

A campaign network runs the “No license for tax fraudsters” campaign against the tax treaty between Germany and Switzerland . It is supported by Campact, Tax Justice Network, Attac Germany , the Verdi specialist group for finance and tax administration, the wealthy initiative for a wealth tax , medico international and the Südwind Institute . She turns (e) explicitly to the SPD.

Since October 2017, the organization has published errors, corrections or clarifications of its own statements, for example from its newsletter, in a separate section on its website.

reception

In 2015, the economic policy spokesman for the CDU parliamentary group, Joachim Pfeiffer , called for the public benefit of Campact to be checked by the tax authorities. Pfeiffer believes that Campact's campaigns on current political issues are incompatible with the non-profit status. According to taz and Neues Deutschland , Pfeiffer targeted the organization because of its criticism of the TTIP trade agreement. Instead of using political arguments, the TTIP proponent Pfeiffer tries to attack Campact through the public benefit. Campact himself described Pfeiffer's approach as an "attempt to silence critics". To prevent this from happening again, ambiguities in German non-profit law would have to be removed.

In addition, Campact has been held to be inadequate in terms of data protection law in the past. The State Commissioner for Data Protection in Lower Saxony, Barbara Thiel had, at the request of journalists from the Stuttgarter Nachrichten commented that the organization collect the net personal data processed and save without the express consent of the citizens must be obtained. Campact then changed its newsletter ordering process and the data protection authority declared: "Our demands have been implemented". The authority did not impose any sanctions for legal violations.

In 2019, Campact's non-profit status was revoked because the organization was predominantly active in general politics and had carried out campaigns that could not be classified as non-profit according to the tax code .
