Arne Semsrott: Gegenmacht in Wiesbaden

Arne Semsrott, the German journalist, author and activist known for his work with FragDenStaat and the Freiheitsfonds initiative, brings his latest book "Gegenmacht: Die Zivilgesellschaft schlägt zurück" to Wiesbaden. The evening offers a deep dive into his vision for a democratic offensive, drawing on his extensive experience in freedom of information advocacy and civil disobedience.

Attendees can expect a thought-provoking presentation that blends Semsrott's sharp analysis of political power structures with practical strategies for civic engagement. His work, which has earned him the Otto Brenner Award and recognition for initiatives like OpenSCHUFA, provides a compelling backdrop for discussions on transparency and resistance.

Semsrott's unique perspective is shaped by his legal battles over the "Last Generation" climate movement and his efforts to decriminalize fare-dodging, which have freed 850 people from prison.
