#HeroicandEmpowering #8April #16May
🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️ This day reminds us of the resilience and power of our ancestors who resisted the Nazis when they were imprisoned in Auschwitz-Birkenau. These brave women and men are our #heroes, a symbol of the spirit of resistance!
Today, we celebrate all #everyday Roma heroes who, despite all difficulties, resist the hate and contribute to building a better society!
We celebrate: 👉 the brave Roma children and parents who keep the faith and fight for education
👉 the Roma doctors and nurses supporting patients during this pandemic 👉 the volunteers and social workers distributing food, providing information and sharing some smiles
👉 The shop sellers, teachers, cleaners and everyone else who work hard every day to feed their families and keep the society running. 👉 All those who are not able to work, but still resist to the best of their possibilities.

And of course everyone who stands up against acts of #antigypsyism, big or small. Your resistance is important! Keep up the good work! Leave no one behind!

On this day of resistance, we call on everyone to not leaving anyone behind, to prioritise the most vulnerable and protect them from violence and antigypsyism.

#HeroicandEmpowering
🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ Our next everyday Roma #heroes come from Skopje, North Macedonia and are from the Sumnal Association for development of the Roma community in Macedonia .
The organization provides psychological support and counseling, organizes a social club and public relations of 100 Roma victims of the #Holocaust.
During the #Covid19 pandemic, the project coordinator, social worker and volunteers visited the beneficiaries of the project. The elderly people were very happy to be able to exchange with the team of Sumnal, and to receive packages with products and medicine. Hopefully they will soon be able to meet in their social club again!

Thank you for your support, Sumnal! 👏👏👏👏👏

#HeroicandEmpowering
🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️ Our next everyday heroes are from our Czech member organization Vzájemné soužití ops who support the people of Ostrava.
Their director Kumar Vishwanathan told us: 👉“In spite of the COVID restrictions, we at Life Together took the conscious decision to be on the streets. We maintain our presence amidst the people, inform them, listen to their needs and fears, take precautions. Our main activities since the middle of March have been to protect the Roma communities. This cannot be done from an office desk or from home office”.👈 The organization already sewed and disseminated 3000 cloth face masks for free! They also explain why it is important to wear them and how to take care of them. Through games on the street, they also discuss the importance of washing hands and keeping distances with the children.

Cities have an important role towards Roma equality & inclusion in Europe. We need to bring the Strategic Framework to the local and the domestic. We need to ensure that our European goals bring change to our neighbourhoods

👍 We welcome the @EU_Commission's plans to promote positive narratives and Roma role models, combat negative stereotypes and promote truth & reconciliation.

‼️ Now the EU and governments must support spaces for Roma to promote their ethnic identity and self determination.
