The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is targeting taxpayer funding for left-wing activist groups. This follows revelations that BIWOC Rising, a Berlin-based coworking space allegedly excluding White people, received over €662,000 in public funds. The organization caters to Black, Indigenous, and people of color, along with transgender, intersex, and nonbinary individuals. Critics argue this model, funded by taxpayers, contradicts the principles of tolerance and diversity it claims to uphold. AfD co-leader Alice Weidel has vowed to reduce funding for such groups, citing this case as an example of wasteful spending on left-wing ideologies. BIWOC Rising received funds through the “Live Democracy!” program meant to support democracy and counter extremism. The group's exclusionary practices raise questions regarding how these align with its stated goals of promoting tolerance. This incident is part of a broader context of racially exclusive events and initiatives in Germany. Similar controversies have involved museums and church events, which have also limited access based on racial or ethnic criteria. Additionally, an NGO offered a seminar for White individuals to examine their “alleged privileges,” costing up to €2,290. The AfD's stance reflects growing opposition to public funding for organizations accused of discriminatory practices.
