Call to take part in demonstration against hatred in Leverkusen

Bayer 04 stands for diversity and tolerance. Intercultural cooperation is firmly established at the club. We clearly distance ourselves from all forms of racism, exclusion and right wing extremism. As it is important to nail our colours to the mast at this moment, Bayer 04 is supporting the call from ‘Bündnisses gegen Rechts’ (Alliance against the right) to take part in the 'Demo gegen Hass und Hetze' (Demonstration against hatred and baiting) in Leverkusen-Wiesdorf. This is taking place on Monday 29 January on the town hall square at 19.00 CET.

People are currently on the streets in many cities throughout Germany to show their commitment to an open, tolerant and liberal Germany. The same will be the case on Monday in Leverkusen, a city with people from over 140 countries.
