The Identitarian movement say they promote the love of their home, country and culture and see it endangered by the thousends of reffugees comming across the borders to Austria.
The counter-protesters see the Identitarian movement as a fascist, far-right movement, that promotes hatered against foreigners, especially Muslims. They support the right to leave a war torn country and seek help elswhere.

I want Tank to actually destroy me
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevitch would just be another three punk rockers playing to small crowds if it weren’t for a little thing called Free Speech. These three members of a Russian protest band called Pussy Riot have become international symbols in the fight against repression. Just sentenced to two years in a labor camp for criticizing the government, these women have never given up on their beliefs. And they have done it all with their own unique style. For taking the Push Girl revolution to Red Square, for speaking up where others remain silent, and for making the balaclava the must-have fashion accessory of the season … we proudly join you with our fists in the air.
Tell your friend they’ve got a little Pussy Riot in them. Reblog now to give them a little push.

Rosa Parks proved that sitting down can be a stand-up statement. While history may depict her famous refusal to get up from her bus seat as a spontaneous protest, this incredible woman had activist credentials that stretched well beyond. But, it was her famous 1955 act of civil disobedience that became a watershed event in civil rights activism and forever changed America for the better. It is for this uncompromising spirit in the face of repression that Rosa Parks takes her rightful seat in the Push Girl Hall of Fame.

“At the beginning, when this was the seat of power between the election and the inauguration, it felt subversive to stand here and hold a book. (…) It still feels like contested space. But now, instead of protesters, it’s occupied by Secret Service and law enforcement.”
Jeff Bergman, who stages readings in the public spaces of Trump Tower as a form of protest against Donald Trump.
John Carlos won bronze in the 200m dash in the 1968 Olympics and, along with with Tommie Smith, protested against racism with a raised fist during the medal ceremony. That iconic protest moment happened this week 49 years ago. The quote is from his 2011 memoir.
