**Internationalist Queer Pride Berlin (IQPB) stands for anticolonial, antiracist and anticapitalist liberation.** Bound in solidarity and shared resistance against every system that colonises, exploits, controls, erases, and disciplines our lives, IQPB is an organised activist group that builds community and mobilises kindred individuals and collectives for an annual queer Pride demonstration. We fight for a world free from oppression, where sexualities, gender expressions and identities are lived freely, boldly and without fear, shame or permission. Guided by this commitment, we organise a radical queer femme- and trans-led political protest that brings our bodies, voices and struggles into the streets to build collective power and demand real change. In the face of war and ongoing genocides, hate and rising fascism, we choose empathy, care and revolutionary love, determined not only to survive but to thrive and flourish. Together, we declare: “None of us are free until all of us are free!” IQPB recognises that no struggle exists in isolation – this is our foundation, our compass and our method. Systems of oppression are interconnected, adapting and reasserting themselves across borders, institutions, histories, and bodies. Colonialism, imperialism, racism, patriarchy, (trans)misogyny, homophobia, ableism, ecocide – these forces do not operate separately; they converge, reinforce one another and seek to dictate the conditions of our lives. IQPB centres the experiences, knowledge and resistance of marginalised and Global Majority communities, demanding justice and dignity for those whose labor, ideas and lands, bodies and minds, cultures and futures have been — and continue to be — exploited, violated and discarded through hegemonic structures rooted in the Global North. Without justice, there can be no peace, and we will not rest until it is won. IQPB is unapologetically anticapitalist. We have been bled dry, worked to exhaustion to line the pockets of billionaires, while inequality reaches unprecedented and obscene levels. The same capitalist system continues to propel the planet toward ecological collapse, while those most affected by extractivism and the impacts of the climate crisis are, once again, communities of the Global Majority. Enough. Class analysis and class struggle are not secondary concerns. They run through every fight, every movement, every act of resistance. We cannot and will not wait for the ruling classes to deliver justice. Liberation is not an aspirational proximity to power. It is a complete uprooting of the system that is rotten to the core. It is insurgent and it will not trickle down. It must be taken. Our demands start with the real, material needs of our communities – regardless of economic status or skin colour – especially our disabled, intersex and trans siblings, whose right and acess to social, medical and mental health care, as well as legal support must be unquestioned and inalienable, never up for debate. We fight for an equitable world in which we can afford housing, access healthcare and live with dignity from our labour. A world where life expectancy is not determined by income; where survival is not a privilege reserved for a few; where sex work is afforded the same dignity and protection as any other labour; where each pays their fair share, and where a credit rating does not decide who lives and who dies. They call it a fantasy, we call it inevitable. This is not extremism. It is revolt. It is common sense sharpened into action. It is our right – and we will take it. We categorically refuse to let our queer identities be abused to justify, defend or fund necropolitical agendas of never-ending military interventions. Pinkwashing is not liberation – it is a deathly propaganda, plain and simple. We reject any attempt to trade our lives and struggles for the legitimacy of murderous, criminal states, engaged in obliterating the principles of so-called international law with impunity and gleeful brutality. Self-determination and self-defence are non-negotiable, and we will assert them tooth and nail. In Germany, these demands must be all the more loud and urgent, where, shameless in their complicity, state oppression and police violence brazenly collude with support for genocidal governments, apartheid and border regimes, actively enabling destruction and atrocities on mass scale. A state that weaponises selective historical memory, appointing itself arbiter of whose lives count and who is permitted to grieve. Our liberation will not – and cannot – ever be complicit in its crimes. Even as we recognise the mobilising potential of digital technologies, we reject over-reliance on algorithmic domination. No social media post, no hashtag, no viral campaign can replace the power of bodies together – arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder. To paraphrase Black lesbian, mother, warrior, and poet Audre Lorde, the tools devised, developed and controlled by our techno-feudal overlords, often without any meaningful public or legal oversight, will never enable us to topple their tax-haven-funded mansions, fortified castles and militarised borders. IQPB is a living, breathing force, not a fleeting moment in a calendar. We strive to put our principles and values into practice year-round. Our mission is clear: to forge spaces of trust and connection where all queer people can come together to organise and build movements that outlast any single event. Together, we are many, united by purpose and driven not by the self-interested, transactional logic of liberal allyship, but by comradeship as a living expression of political belonging and mutual commitment. In combining diverse struggles, we acknowledge contradictions. This also means making mistakes and learning from them, unlearning our own assumptions and being accountable. Only by remaining critical of all institutions, including the structures we are part of, can we remain grounded and politically vigilant. In the spirit of prison abolition, we move beyond policing and punishment, pushing towards a culture of collective responsibility and restorative care, putting the needs of those affected and harmed front and centre. From the outrageous abandonment of cisheteronormative prescripts for living to the joyful celebration of bodily autonomy and sex positivity; from collective resistance to every wall and cage designed to contain us to the radical tenderness of individual relationships and mutual care, we fiercely affirm that freedom is indivisible and must be seized. We will not ask for permission. We will create, organise and act, just as our many forebears, activists, writers, thinkers, artists, and freedom fighters did. We live in the grace of all those who came before us. We stand on their shoulders and will never forget them. With fire in our hearts and steel in our spines, we commit to honouring their courage and vision, and to sharing this world through embodied practices that confront oppression at every intersection and dismantle it at its roots. ______________ [Berlin, 03/2026]
