Rally June 26 | 4-6 pm | Lawn in front of the Bundestag
We, those affected by the restrictions on family reunification, together with supporters such as Terre des Hommes , the Federal Association for Minors and Refugees (BuMF), Youth Without Borders, the Berlin Refugee Council, the Counseling and Support Center for Young Refugees and Migrants (BBZ), PRO ASYL, and others, invite you to a public assembly in front of the Bundestag. On June 27th, the Bundestag plans to decide on the suspension of family reunification for those granted subsidiary protection. We want to raise our voices against a suspension because, for many of us, it would mean further years of separation, loneliness, fear for our children and loved ones, and a violation of our fundamental right to family.

Even now, family reunification is fraught with insurmountable obstacles:
- Unacceptable waiting times
- Obtaining a passport can be difficult – especially in countries of origin where there
are hardly any secure government structures - High costs for documents, translations, flights
- And above all: years of separation from our families.
- Especially for children and young people, the separation from parents and siblings is
extremely distressing.
This is not protection – it is psychological stress, existential pressure, and a violation of human and children's rights. We appeal to all members of the German Bundestag: Stand up for the protection of families! Vote against the planned suspension of family reunification for those granted subsidiary protection!
Family is not a privilege – family is a human right. And that must also apply to those with subsidiary protection.
Come to the meadow in front of the Bundestag on Thursday, June 26th at 4:00 pm and join us in showing our support for families – together for family reunification!
