Location: Aha-Berlin e.V., Monumentenstraße 13, Berlin - Bezirk Tempelhof-Schöneberg
About event
Political chat
With “Stonewall” in 1969, the queer community stood up against police violence. Today the police protect us, for example at CSDs, street festivals or other queer events. But are police and queers really on the same side? Where can I turn? Do LGBTIQ+ contacts at the police actually do anything? And what exactly is VelsPol?
We want to exchange ideas with representatives of the Berlin police and you, the audience. What moves you? Come by and report on your experiences, ask your questions or share your opinion.
