Alerta is an antifascist Network sparked by football fans globally. It was established by antifascist ultra groups in 2007. We, as a collective, stand united against fascism, racism and capitalism. Our foundation is built on equality, inclusivity, and non-discrimination, irrespective of appearance, skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or any other factor.
OUR EXPANDED MISSION
Against State/Government Oppression
We recognize the increasing encroachment of state and government powers in curtailing freedoms and civil liberties. Our struggle extends to resisting these forms of oppression, advocating for transparent and accountable governance that serves the people, not subjugates them.
Opposition to far-right politics and Fundamentalism
In a world that is continuously divided by far-right politics and religious fundamentalism, we position ourselves firmly against any ideology that seeks to divide, incite hatred, or promote intolerance. Our Network upholds the values of dialogue, understanding, and peace.
We are particularly alarmed by the increased rise of the far-right, recognizing the significant threat this brings to social equality, democratic principles, and the safety of marginalized communities. Our commitment is to actively counter these dangerous ideologies and to work towards a society that respects diversity and promotes coexistence.
Class Struggle and Inequality
We are acutely aware of the widening economic disparities and the erosion of working-class rights in developed & developing economies. Our fight encompasses challenging the rise in poverty rates, advocating for equitable opportunities, labour rights and highlighting the struggles of the working class against the backdrop of increasing capitalist exploitation.
The surge of far-right ideologies exacerbates these inequalities, often diverting legitimate economic grievances towards divisive and discriminatory agendas. We stand against such manipulation of class struggles and strive to unite people across different backgrounds in our common fight for economic justice and equality.
Combating Human Rights Abuses
Human rights are the cornerstone of a just society. We vehemently oppose and actively fight against any form of human rights abuse globally, be it institutional, systemic, or individual. Our commitment is to uphold and champion the rights and dignity of all individuals.
No Human Being is illegal
Our Network takes a strong stand against forceful expansionism and the infringement on the freedom of movement. We advocate for the right of every human being to self-determination, sovereignty, and the ability to live and move without fear of aggression in search for better living conditions (home, work etc). We acknowledge that no human being should be considered illegal, especially those who have been compelled to flee their homes due to conflict or other forms of coercion.
OUR ACTIONS AND APPROACHES
- We leverage our Network of antifascist sports fans, ultras, and fan groups to raise awareness, foster dialogue, and take action on these critical issues.
- Our activities span stadiums, streets, and communities, with a focus on engagement, education, and direct action.
- We remain committed to creating safe spaces for dialogue and action, where all are welcome except those who espouse fascist ideologies.
- Through sharing insights, opportunities, and the lived experiences of diverse groups globally, we aim to foster understanding and solidarity.
CONCLUSION
The Alerta Network is more than a slogan; it’s a commitment to a global struggle for justice, equality, and freedom. We stand in solidarity with all who face oppression and dedicate our efforts to creating a world where the values of antifascism, anti-racism, and anti-capitalism are not just ideals, but realities for all.
In our pursuit, we envision a society where justice prevails for every human being, a society that does not tolerate harm inflicted by one upon another. Instead, we strive for a community rooted in assistance, mutual respect, and progress.
