Aktionstag: Kein Land in Sicht? Perspektiven nach 11 Jahren ziviler Seenotrettung

In the organizer's words:

On 09.05.2026 from 14:00 Sea-Eye and Sea-Watch cordially invite you to our solidarity day in Bremen.

Experience a day full of encounters, perspectives and impressions: You can expect a diverse program with workshops, lectures, readings, short films, exhibitions, discussions and a concluding solidarity party. Together we want to understand, classify and make visible why civil sea rescue is vital.

On the premises of Spedition Bremen, we will create a space for exchange, learning and solidarity and take a stand together against dying at Europe's borders.

Come along, bring friends and take a stand.
