Announcement of new protest actions

After the actions during WorldPride Amsterdam 2026, GayJustice.org continues.

In the coming period, new peaceful protest actions will be organised to draw attention to reports and accusations of intimidation, discriminatory treatment, abuse of power and inadequate institutional oversight.

With humour, street theatre, art and visibility, we bring these issues back into the public space. Not to trivialise their seriousness, but precisely to make visible to the public subjects that disappear behind dossiers, procedures and institutional walls.

Four forms of peaceful resistance

GayJustice.org explicitly chooses peaceful, creative and visible forms of protest. No violence, no confrontation — but humour, art and public visibility.

  1. Playful actions — humour as resistance

    With humour, satire and unexpected interventions, we bring our message to the street. Playful actions can question power structures without aggression or violence. Humour breaks down distance, attracts attention and makes difficult subjects accessible to people who might otherwise never encounter these stories.

    The underlying issues remain serious. That is precisely why we use humour as a peaceful means to draw attention, spark discussion and critically question authorities.

    Humour as resistance. Peaceful, visible and impossible to ignore.

  2. Street theatre — making injustice visible

    Street theatre brings stories from dossiers into the public space. Abstract concepts such as intimidation, discrimination, abuse of power, institutional failure and access to justice can be made visible and understandable through performances.

    Passers-by are confronted with a story rather than just a text. That creates space for questions, conversations and social debate. The goal is not confrontation, but awareness.

  3. Art and mural expression — stories in public space

    Art can make visible what remains invisible in official procedures. Artistic expression, temporary installations and other lawful forms of public art can bring stories about discrimination, intimidation, human rights and institutional responsibility to places where people meet.

    Art thereby becomes not only expression, but also remembrance and social commentary.

    What must not be forgotten must remain visible.

  4. Visibility — reclaiming public space

    Visibility is in itself a form of peaceful resistance. When people feel that their experiences are ignored, marginalised or disappear behind institutional procedures, public visibility is a way to be heard again.

    That is why we remain visible: on the street, online and in public debate. Peaceful. Creative. Persistent. With dignity.

Together in action

The issues that GayJustice.org raises are serious.

Accusations and personal testimonies have been published about police intimidation, discriminatory treatment, the refusal or inadequate handling of complaints and possible abuse of authority. There are also questions about the response, oversight and accountability of other government institutions involved.

These accusations are not the same as legally established facts. That is precisely why independent investigation is important.

When citizens make serious accusations about government conduct, a democratic state under the rule of law must be willing to investigate them demonstrably, independently and transparently.

The actions during WorldPride were not the end point.

It was the beginning.

GayJustice.org continues with new peaceful actions that reach people directly — on the street, in public space and in public debate. The goal is to make GayJustice.org known nationwide. Our actions will include decorating a number of government buildings, blocking motorways and playful actions that will reach a wide audience.
