Solidarity Fasting

SharePic Invitation for solidarity fasting days

We stand in solidarity with "Hungern bis ihr ehrlich seid!"

We support the demands of “Hungern bis ihr ehrlich seid!”.

The hunger strikers called on the Federal Chancellor to state the following simple truths in a government statement:

  • The human civilisation is extremely endangered by the climate catastrophe.
  • The CO₂ content in the air is far too high (0.42‰). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows a pathway (SSP1-1.9 “1.5° pathway”) that gives humanity the best chance of survival.
  • This path has a target value of 0.35‰ (by the year 2150). This means that there are already hundreds of gigatonnes too much CO₂ in the air.
  • We must now radically change course, albeit years late.

In solidarity and to make their demands heard, we were fasting for 1 to 2 days at a time and abstaining from solid food. A few of us were doing this together with the hunger strikers in the camp in Berlin, but most of us were fasting from home.

We were about 30 people from the groups Scientist Rebellion, Last Generation, Extinction Rebellion, Christian Rebellion, Nein&Amen and also people from outside the climate movement.
