ROMADAY on 8 April is a day of celebration: we celebrate the power of our communities and their resilience. We remember the beginnings of the global emancipation movement with the first World Roma Congress in 1971 and take it a step further.

At the same time, ROMADAY is a day of fight on which we make it clear: We are first and foremost in the fight against the resurgent right-wing extremists! We, Sinti and Roma, have always been part of the resistance, fought as partisans and will not stand back and watch as our homelands are taken over by the right! We are here and we will stay here!
