Flag for Halfstok/Half-mast

Fluttering in the cold autumn winds, they will carry a silent wish and draw a line in the sand. Since 2013, more than 100 wars and armed conflicts have started worldwide and about half of them are still ongoing. We realize that a call for a ceasefire has major consequences. A peaceful society will never be possible in a world with unequal relationships, violence, neo-colonialism or oppression. We therefore do not see a call for a ceasefire as a passive act, but as an active start for a broad debate and social engagement. Common people are only victims. Everybody loses. It’s enough.
