Because hate no longer hides in the shadows.
Because xenophobia, racism, antisemitism, antigypsyism, and all forms of bigotry have become part of everyday life — online and offline.
Because conspiracy, polarization, and algorithmic toxicity are not just digital glitches, but political realities shaping how people live, vote, and think.
Because the rise of the far right is no longer a fringe phenomenon. It is institutionalized, normalized, and increasingly sophisticated.
Because the language of exclusion is now spoken in parliaments, on screens, in schoolyards, and in the streets.
Because what we tolerate today becomes policy tomorrow.
Because democracy cannot be defended through silence.
Because civic resilience isn’t inherited — it is built, taught, practiced.
Because too many people are told they do not belong.
And because belonging is political.
2Act4 exists to confront this moment.
To name the forces that seek to divide us.
To stand for democratic values not in the abstract, but in practice — through education, research, accountability, and voice.
To build a culture that refuses to look away.
We act to expose harm.
We act to resist fear.
We act to protect space for dignity, participation, and truth.
We act for democracy.
We act for the future.
We act — because we must.
