Today marks the 10yr anniversary of the defeat of the English-only referendum. This was a turning point in Nashville's history, towards becoming a more welcoming & inclusive city. In 2019 - cities like Nashville are facing another test. (1/)

Abschlusskonferenz des #WCTE18 Austausches in Berlin. Starkes Grußwort von Bautzens OB Alexander Ahrens. Er ruft zu Optimismus auf, dass es mit guter Politik auch in Ostdeutschland gelingt, die Rechtsradikalen zurückzudrängen und in die Schranken zu weisen. #FWCberlin
