history
The “Laut gegen Nazis” campaign is a project by the “Make A Noise” agency. This Hamburg agency, also run by Jörn Menge, implements all events and the PR and public relations work for the campaign in cooperation with various partners.
The association Laut gegen Nazis eV is an independently operating association that acts both as a sponsor of the campaign and to promote other initiatives. The aim of the association is to support small initiatives with their own resources and to set up and promote counseling centers for victims of right-wing violence in northern Germany, regardless of the campaign.
Supporters include Peter Lohmeyer , Smudo , Gentleman , Die Fantastischen Vier , Sportfreunde Stiller , Jo Brauner , Silbermond , and Revolverheld . The campaign tries to unite cultural workers , agencies, companies, media, economy, politics, important associations and clubs for responsible action against the establishment of right-wing extremist ideas and their parties in a network.
The campaign organizes music events and workshops for young people to draw attention to the spread of right-wing extremist ideas and has also published its own audio book edition on the topic of right-wing ideology in collaboration with prominent supporters.
Part of the work is a. popular music events such as B. the Southside Festival 2007, the Hurricane Festival 2005–2010 (except 2009), the Area 4 Festival 2008, the Highfield Festival 2008, the M'era Luna Festival 2008, Campus Open Air Hamburg 2009, Campus Open Air Cottbus 2008, Campus Open Air Erfurt 2009, Reeperbahn Festival 2006–2008, Splash! Festival 2009 and since last year 2010 also the MDR Sputnik Springbreak, the Taubertal Festival and the Deichbrand Festival and thus to reach as many young people and young adults as possible.
The initiative “Loud against Nazis - rights violence can affect everyone” is not funded by the state and is primarily financed through sponsoring and partnerships. Proceeds are used immediately to implement numerous projects. Nevertheless, Laut gegen Nazis is always looking for investors from business who will enable them to continue their work.
In 2010, Laut against Nazis was on the verge of collapse. The operator lost almost 60% of the turnover from the previous year, and donations for the promotion of the campaign to the association were not made for months. For this reason, Laut called against the Nazis for rescue. With the slogan “ Fight against the law - and bankruptcy” and the campaign “Hamburg and everyone are out!”, Many celebrities appealed to save the campaign. At a mass rally in September 2011 with many speeches and live music, numerous celebrities such as D-Flame , One Fine Day , Nosliw , Corny Littmann , Extra3 moderator Tobias Schlegl appeared for the preservation of the Laut against Nazis initiative, which enabled the campaign to continue working.
In 2012, the Hamburg Alliance against Law issued a critical opinion on loud against Nazis .
