Help us protect human rights defenders and activists at risk!✊Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke Aarhus and Cafe Mellemfolk are hosting a solidarity run to help raise funds for a Rapid Response Fund (RRF). The fund provides urgent support to those fighting for democracy, equal rights, and climate justice (more details at the bottom*).
We’ll be moving in solidarity with the people fighting against injustice. Come join us!
🏞Routes: 5 km and 10 km, starting and finishing at Mejlgade 53. Maps with the routes will be posted in the event soon, and you’ll also get a link guiding you through the route.
💰Price: Minimum of 50 kr per participant going directly to the Rapid Response Fund supporting the work.
🕙Technical race stuff: Stewards will see you off as you start and record your time when you finish the route. This run isn’t the most high-tech, but we’ll do our best to record your time down to the second!
🚨Rules: Stay safe and move responsibly! We expect every participant of this run to obey traffic rules to keep themselves and others safe. Neither of the routes will be closed off for this run, so run/move sensibly.

*ABOUT THE RAPID RESPONSE FUND
What Is the Rapid Response Fund?🧐
The Rapid Response Fund is a dedicated resource to provide urgent support to human rights defenders (HRDs) and activists who are at risk. This fund ensures that those fighting for democracy, equal rights, and climate justice receive the help they need when they need it most.
Why Is It Important?🤔
In 2024 alone, we assisted nearly 400 activists worldwide who faced threats of torture or even death. These brave individuals use their voices to stand against injustice, often putting themselves in dangerous situations. The Rapid Response Fund is crucial in providing them with the necessary support to continue their vital work safely.
How Does the Fund Help?🤩
The fund offers a range of support services, including:
➡️ Financial Assistance: Immediate financial aid for activists in trouble, covering legal fees, medical care, and temporary relocation.
➡️ Security Support: Comprehensive security training and resources, including risk assessment, digital protection, and crisis response.
➡️ Legal Support: Access to legal advice and representation, ensuring activists have the legal backing they need.
➡️ Psychological Support: Resources and programs to address burnout and stress, helping activists maintain their wellbeing.
