Peaceful Civic Actions: Protests for Democracy

We coordinate and support peaceful demonstrations defending democratic participation and the ballot box.

In line with our commitment to democratic participation, we coordinate and support peaceful demonstrations following the politically motivated prosecution and detention of Istanbul's elected mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu. Each gathering is designed to:

Defend the ballot box. We stand against judicial tactics that overturn the will of voters.

Amplify silenced voices. By gathering in public, we draw national and international attention to shrinking civic space in Türkiye.

Model constructive dissent. Every action follows strict non-violent guidelines and welcomes people of all backgrounds, reflecting our inclusive, nonpartisan ethos.

Build community. Local organizers pair each protest with teach-ins or letter-writing sessions, turning outrage into sustained civic engagement.

Show up, speak up. Bring a friend, a sign, and a commitment to peaceful assembly.

Together we demonstrate that democratic rights neither begin nor end at national borders, and that the struggle for an open, pluralistic Türkiye will be won by citizens everywhere who refuse to stay silent.
